@palaeokatie what's in the amygoid?

Remember seeing amygoidal lava on Skye - a bit younger! They were pretty in the rain but boring white compared to this.

@palaeokatie

Not a geologist, but have a lifelong fascination with it as a child of the Redlands of western Colorado.

Lovely specimen - also your nautilus tattoo is pretty.
