According to American geologist Mark Bowers, Lucas Fassari found an unusual rock in the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil in November.

Before the rock was split, it looked like a non-descript tan/grey egg. Once cut in half and opened, however, this is what was revealed...

Bowers is being hounded by excited stone and mineral collectors who want to own the unusual agate for themselves.

"This is very unusual. There are a few famous agates out there: the owl, the scared face... there are many approximate ones but rare to find clear well defined like that," Bowers said. "Prices can be very high. I was proposed over $10,000 by five different buyers."

Lol this is the most interesting thing I've seen in a while.

Or I probably just have an extremely boring life.

@Magenta Other geodes have been found with “faces” in them, but this was the best.
