Point the finger.

Prehnite from Collinsville,QLD, Australia

I collected this obsidian and perlite "monkey head" in March of 2009 in Superior, AZ. Not quite a polar bear, but . . .

Here is a piece of Copper from the Laurium Mine in Houghton, MI that looks like a running rabbit.

Another dragon, quartz & pyrite from Spruce Ridge, King Co., WA. Pyrite cube is 1.9 cm. I'm fond of quartz plates that seem able to walk away.

Another walking quartz, off the animal topic, known as the Robot. Stands on its quartz legs, supported by a cubic pyrite tush. 8 cm high.
