[Bernard Marx]

This happens a lot: agate nodules often have funny or human-like patterns inside. The agate was cut with a diamond saw like the one I use for lapidary work. The orientation of the cut was a lucky accident. I have an entire image file of agates with faces or other unusual patterns. While this stone shows an uncanny resemblance to the Cookie Monster interesting patterns occur frequently.
