this is what we call "Crystal Dragon Eggs". i have no idea what it is lol :P but it's definitely not a fossil. its more like a rock, or a strange agatized igneous stone?

Hi Henry. I'm not sure which mineral it is, but it looks like it was first formed as an egg and then treated afterwards with an acid which dissolved the mineral (maybe calcite) but not the veins which are running through it.

What ever they are, they're mass-produced (often many for sale on Ebay at any given time, all from one seller). I always thought they were cool looking, and wondered what they are.

Is it solid, or hollow?
