This was found in a dried up creek bed in Arizona, near Tombstone, Arizona.  At first I seen the crystals sparkling and thought, "cool an old 'Hag Stone'. ...in the desert???"

On further inspection it kind of has a distinct shape.  Also the hole look much like sinuses in a skull, possibly bird.

Very nice looking rock with some nice crystals, but not a fossil.  The holes are just due to the way the crystals formed and nature shaped it.

Thank you, it is very crystalline and I'm very curious about the nodules on it. But I really like the way it is and wouldn't break it open.

I think if you google "botryoidal quartz" you will get some images that show similar features.  I would definitely add it to my rock garden!
