The inside of a volcanic rock found in Brazil sports a stunning pattern of crystals which bear an uncanny resemblance to the iconic Cookie Monster character from Sesame Street. The remarkable gemstone, known as an agate, was reportedly discovered in the Rio Grande do Sul region of the country back in November and was revealed to the world last week by way of a Facebook post from geologist Mike Bowers, who currently owns the odd object.
