  2. Nature is awesome, that's all one can say. :) I remember finding stones like this when I was little and was very intrigued by them, wondering how they came to be like that... Well, now I know!

  3. I have some rocks/shells that have tiny holes and I thought they were coral but they are old shells that have been inhabited by tiny worms, so interesting.
