Yeah, i wish i knew where to find this neat stuff. I've found a lot of seashells fossilized in the rock, but I've never found anything super amazing.
I have a little piece of diamond in one of those small boxes. I'd hate to say it, but I'd probably look right past something like that.
A side note, the celestite crystals in the back left corner are what make the color red in some fireworks. This is because of the element Strontium (the mineral itself is Strontium sulfate). Mine came from Ohio, but apparently, malaysian crystals are thick and blue, like a quartz cyrstal. I guess the shape depends on how it formed.
Either way, its neat stuff. I need to take an updated picture, since i realize i've got a few new pieces not pictured, Notobally a Pallasite (rare meteor type), and a chunk of coal from the Titanic (allegedly).
