A friend of mine found this a couple of years ago, and has had a couple of Geologists looks at it and I think one Gemologist and they were stumped as to what it is, can anyone ID it???
This is a quote from my friend "a few years ago I found a very unusual stone imbedded in a quartz vein pocket. it has ultra fine gold stringers running all thru it. its some sort of gemstone, but nothing thats common." I have 13 pictures of it I'll post just a few, and then more if necessary.
-------------------- Seek and Ye Shall Find, and when you find It thank GOD!!!

I know that it looks like it has been "cut" but this is the way it looked when he found it, he just popped it off of the quartz it was attached to.
