The elephant mosquito was encased in amber as I recall

That’s how they re-created the dinosaurs - by some blood from the insect in the amber

so.....Newman! (was smuggling embryos in the shaving cream cans)

There’s a rock on the porch of our family homestead that has been there for decades — IIRC, even from when Mom was a kid. It’s transparent green with white things that look like mini marshmallows in it.

My brother inherited the place in April; maybe he’ll check it out. It’s probably manmade, but who knows?

Looks very similar. Ours is lighter green and more transparent, but I know there can be so many variations within the same Rick type. Thanks.

That sounds like Quartz or some type of Jade.
I have a small slab of Rose Quartz in the garden, translucent, with whites, greys and pinks when the sun hits it. That quartz is supposed to bring good luck to the owner.

If you live anywhere near Lake Woebegon, it's probably a petrified jello salad from a Lutheran church supper. Are there any bits that look like carrot shreds in it?

That’s hilarious! I didn’t know the Lutherans did the same kind of “fellowship suppers” as the Baptists. The gross Jell-O salads with cottage cheese and carrot shreds ... 🤮

Lake Woebegon Days was so funny. Too bad the guy was a liberal whack job.
