I found this oddity amongst a heap of large concretions I've hoarded over the last few years. I haven't explored other areas much, due to the productivity (and concentration) of fossil bearing coleraine formation In the location I hunt. So, I believe this piece came from that same area. After the dried mud was washed off and I saw the banding and what looks like grain, I can't help but think that this is wood. It's also UV florescent, glowing a dull orange when exposed to a UV light. I have a tendency to get quite excited about nodules though, so I would appreciate any and all feedback/suggestions. Thanks for your time!

This oddly colored crystal druzy was found in August of 2022 on a iron tailings hill outside of hibbing, MN. I've hiked many of these dump spots for high quality quarts, this particular hill didn't seem to bear any though. Aside from the subject in the photos, there was nothing else that caught my eye about the location. If anyone has any ideas about its identity, I would greatly appreciate it! Happy hunting!
