Yep. Thank you very much, Gary, for posting the pictures! Zélimir: "the aggregate ... a simple sand grain embedded into the vesicle." I am also leaning towards a terrestrial provenance - like Ingo and Zélimir. By the way, the "true" color of the crystals (it's one large crystal and several smaller ones attached to it and to the "walls" and the bottom of the vesicle) is that of rose quartz > Did you just try to touch it with some tiny tweezers or pin, just to see > (under scope) whether it moves back and forth from its equilibrium position Yes, I did but it is firmly anchored to the bottom and the walls of this vesicular cavity. Another observation of potential interest: When you look at photo #2 on Gary's website (magnification 32x) and click on "Click here for an extreme closeup of the above photo", you may recognize a black (opaque), tube-like crystal in the 5 o'clock position smack between the large crystal and the wall of the vesicular cavity. Again, I wonder what that might be! Maybe goethite? Thanks for all your comments!
