Rabbit Quartz

Mineral Matters #925

Pareidolia, that thing that makes us see animate things where there are none.

Here is another example. A smoky quartz “rabbit” from Mooralla, Victoria. Mooralla is well-known for its smoky quartz specimens that are found in a rhyolite in western Victoria. The site is a State designated fossicking area, although these days, you need to dig pretty deep holes!
