You never know what you re going to get when you crack open a geode-like rock called an agate, but a new specimen is even more surprising than usual: It looks just like Cookie Monster.
The agate, found in Soledade, a precious stone hotspot in southern Brazil, is a dead ringer for the blue, googly-eyed Sesame Street Muppet.
After its owner, California mineral collector Mike Bowers, posted about the agate on Facebook, it went viral, with write-ups in newspapers from Australia to Israel to the United States.
C is for crazy.
An agate gemstone unearthed in Brazil has gone viral for its striking resemblance to Cookie Monster of Sesame Street fame.
A geologist in California says he s received multiple offers of $10,000 for the rare rock, which was recently discovered in Rio Grande do Sul, the New York Post reports. Owner Mike Bowers said he s been inundated with interest after showing off the volcanic rock on Facebook earlier this month, as the interior blue quartz crystals and smile-like void look just like the hungry monster. The agate was recovered from the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil by gemologist Lucas Fassari in November 2020.
