It is almost like a phantom. I think this may be a fossil replaced by agate.

I agree. There are lots of fossils out there who have become agates. No fault of their own, lol. I am into fossils and am amazed at what an organic creature, pre-glacial age, has become. There are many out there, just waiting to be found and appreciated by rock collectors and lapidary professionals.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.
