This is a very unique Rain Flower Pebble with eye agate features and weighs 55 grams. The eyes are psuedomorph usually after an iron spike or stick or another mineral and when the tube is cut crosswise the eye is seen. This is very unusual to see in a pebble or stone. The eyes cover the pebble and there is a red line that goes 3/4 the way around it that includes a fracture, but because of the red is quite interesting to wonder how it came to be. The tubes stretch around the edges. Excellent Rain Flower Pebble.
