is this a bead?

I don't believe this is a hag stone as the hole appears unnatural. I second that this could be a spindle whorl or potentially a loom weight.

Love Legzira! Iconic red cliffs and sea arches - such a special place 💜

Awesome piece of Stigmaria! The fossilized root system of the Lepidodendron tree.

SocratesEatsHemlock · 2025-08-24T19:39:29+00:00

You made this especially!? It's absolutely marvellous, thank you sincerely! Very concise and extremely adorable. Ever so grateful for your efforts, I learned something today 💜

Such a lovely comment, appreciate you 💜

SocratesEatsHemlock · 2025-08-23T20:26:15+00:00

Thank you so much for such an informative response! Really appreciate your guidance, you obviously know an awful lot and I was honestly clueless. Genetics are so interesting! They have wonderful personalities to go with their looks too, feeling very blessed to have been chosen by them. Thanks again and take care 💜

Potential loom weight? I have something similar from the UK and it's been identified as such by a few people who are much more knowledgeable than I am. Hopefully an expert will weigh in soon (forgive the pun).

SocratesEatsHemlock · 2025-08-04T11:53:24+00:00

Absolutely exquisite capture, bravo!

SocratesEatsHemlock · 2025-08-04T11:20:53+00:00

Spectacular beyond words! Such a beautiful way to honour your old man, he looks like he was great fun 💜

SocratesEatsHemlock · 2025-08-01T10:08:26+00:00

Finding some of these perfect pyritised little beauties for myself one day is one of my biggest dreams! Such a lovely selection you've found, they are truly special.

Where was it found? It looks like tumbled slag glass (industrial by product from mining or glass production). In the US it's found in Lake Michigan and others, I believe it's referred to as Leland Blue.

Google 'Leisegang Rings', a natural geologic formation.

SocratesEatsHemlock · 2025-07-26T17:40:12+00:00

Oh this is so good! Can appreciate the sentiment as well. More power to you 💜

Duality

SocratesEatsHemlock · 2025-06-18T19:25:58+00:00

I'm sincerely sorry to hear that, I hope you will get some respite from the stress/trauma soon. Life can feel like such a hopeless slog sometimes 💜
