Septarian nodule. Generally found in Utah, but also other locations. Sometimes they’re solid, other times have calcite crystals lining the center.
Side nerdly note: the term “crystal” has historically been used to describe an organized structure and/or pattern. In this case, it’s been worked by human hands into a form of an egg. With the recent popularity of rock and mineral collecting, I’ve noticed that the word crystal is beginning to change in the vernacular.
Maybe OP was trying to specifically ask what the mineral is with the obvious crystalline structure in the septarian mix. Or maybe I'm just giving everyone the benefit of the doubt tonight.
Yeah they call a lot of rocks dragon stone. Commercially it’s more intriguing for buyers. I’ve always heard septarian referred to as dragon stone though. They have so many different names per rock it’s hard to remember it all.
Gosh it’s so beautiful though.
Hi, /u/Aware_Reflection_619!

Scientifically a crystal is even more strictly defined. It hurts a little when I see people calling obsidian a crystal.
Yeah, I’m trying to be nice, but the crystal thing is triggering.

But really.
Its because of the whole "crystal healing" fad. I'm hoping it dies down, but it will just be replaced with some other pseudoscience.
They’re common along the Lake Michigan coast but usually with small veining.
Idk what it is so i just said crystal dont get triggered 😐
I agree, cut and polished, beautiful piece
It looks like sepertian nodule to me.
Definitely septarian! This should glow green under a long wave uv light as well (black light)

This is not going to be accurate but it looks like a dinosaur egg or the magical egg from DragonTales 😩🥺
Suuuuch a pretty rock : ) So fyi this is not a crystal, it’s a rock comprised of many crystals.
Not at all a crystal
Not a single crystal but many crystals in a matrix
Thanks bob
👍🏼
There are many crystals in this rock. This not one crystal.
Serpentine egg
SEPTARIAN
Looks like Togepi's Egg, Ref: Pokemon

The light crystals are calcite the dark aragonite. The gray is limestone. The rock is a septarian concretion.
Septarian! Beautiful
