Geologist Finds Rare Formation Inside Rock That Looks Exactly Like Cookie Monster on Sesame Street

When geologists go on research trips, they’re normally looking to observe specific rocks, minerals, and fossils. What this Californian scientist wasn’t expecting was to open up a volcanic rock in Brazil—only to find an uncanny resemblance of the Cookie Monster.

From the outside, the rock looks pretty ordinary–it’s plain brown, and shaped like an egg.

On the inside? It’s a glorious cream and blue. And it looks just about ready to growl “om nom nom nom nom” at the world.

LOL! A nice slice on that geode! If it had been cut 90 degrees out, we likely would have never seen it.
