A stromatolite is a sedimentary fossil structure made by prehistoric bacteria colonies, typically cyanobacteria. Stromatolites in fact are still living and forming in some parts of our world today, including Australia, and are among the earliest forms of life—and fossils—on our Earth.

The fossils form in shallow water conditions of lakes or salt water shores. First, cyanobacteria grow in microbial mats. Minerals like calcium carbonate precipitate (crystalize from the water) onto the surface of the mat. The bacteria acts as a glue, cementing it all together with sedimentary debris. Layers build up over time like a bacterial pearl; the name “stromatolite” appropriately means “layered rock” in Greek.

This, however, is not a stromatolite. They are commonly believed to be stromatolites, and you will more often than not see them sold under that name and description. More accurately, they are concretions formed out of beautiful tones of red sandstone material. These sandstone concretions form in a manner similar to stromatolites, but minus the aid of bacteria: mineral-rich waters precipitate barite which binds with sand to form concentric layers around a nucleus. It is a relative of the barite desert rose, which grows clusters of round blade-like ‘petals.’

This shapely specimen makes for an inexpensive large piece to add to your mineral collection or use as decor around the home. I call this one the "Badonkadonk" because when flipped over, it appears as two pert semi-perfect spheres.

UV reactivity Many pseudo-stromatolites from Morocco have faint to moderate fluorescence and phosphorescence under 365 nm UV light. Some areas show brief phosphorescence, but overall reaction is poor.

Almost blew up my microwave
Size: 20 Ounces, Size: 20 Ounces
TL;DR "A hilarious microwave mistake turned into a great home cafe upgrade. This 20oz cup is straightforward to handle, looks incredibly professional, and holds a level of heat that will literally burn you if you aren't careful." . Bought this for homemade coffee brewing, just to spice things up. But as I go ahead to heat up my new shiny stainless steel milk frother cup in the microwave, whoopdy doo. Ya can’t put stainless in the microwave! Regardless, it’s still a straightforward frother cup to handle, making it a great dollar investment for upgrading my home cafe setup. . 1. Spotless Stainless Steel: Its sleek appearance made me feel professional in the hands of an amateur like moi. Great quality! 2. Temperature Retention: I accidentally burnt myself because it stayed so hot, but that is a major positive. Proving the insulation works perfectly and keeps the milk piping hot. 3. Size: The 20oz capacity is accurate, providing the perfect amount of space for frothing without any overflow.
