WIIF #76

MCF dialed in a win last week.

Here is What Is It Friday? #76



blondkit10 saw the glimmer in the eye with a little help from this blog's host. Click both of the below images for desktop sized treats.

The first is a side view of the gemstone and the second is how most of us normally view this "rock."





The fine print: On Fridays I will post an image in hopes that visitors will leave a guess in the comment section. The following Friday (or when someone guesses correctly) I will post a wide shot of the item. Each Friday a NEW image, along with a link to the previous weeks post, will be posted.

I'm going out of a crazy limb with this....

Is it plastic? I'm thinking it's one of your macro shots, and my guess would be a CD jewel case REAL CLOSE UP.

Is is a closeup of a marble of some sort? Maybe a glass eye? Or those fake glass stones used in vases or aquariums?

How about an insect wing--one of those see-thru types?

Is it one of those trays filled with silicon beads at an optometrist's office? They're heated and you put eyeglasses in them to shape the plastic.

b13 said...

Nope, and I hope I won't need to see one of those up close ;)

b13 said...

Bengal sight

Good hint, LOL, why don't you just give it away? Could it possibly be a Tigers Eye stone/rock/crystal/marble?

I would have never guessed it looked like that from the size up close.

b13 said...

It is indeed a purple tiger's eye gemstone and I was just as shocked when I held it up to the sun... sideways
