Cool token! What kind of stone or crystal do you have there! Nice looking piece! Could be worth a little money maybe?

Not too sure as to what type of rock/crystal it is.

I found 2 of them right next to each other. This picture really doesn't do it justice at all this rock has soo many crystals in it its amazing they are so "shiny" if you will the glimmer like diamonds the whole interior of this thing Glitters there is not one part that doesn't weird.

When i turn it over it looks like it was.. well I'll try and get a better shot of all the glimmer and the back half you you can see.....


as far as the token I found it in my yard about 1/2" deep and it was UGLY lol had a bunch of rusty deep red color to it... so knowing it was a gaming token I cleaned the hell out of it with ........ Ummmm... CLR and Brillo it was all i had dint bust on me... please..haha

well here are a few more pictures Hopefully close up for you to see ... But still in the pictures the crystals look very dull in comparison to what they really look like.

If anyone has any helpful info on an ID that would be great.

Default Try Opalized Quartz.....

Hi Hollywood!

GREAT finds! The rocks look like Opalized Quartz... I find less opalized material up here in SW WA.... Opalized Quartz crystals can be found at one of my sites, but I've never found opalized matrix (at least not yet!).
Definitely something to keep and be proud of!

HH! -Tom
