Well, not really of course. But the material behaves oddly. When first found, the side in the first photo was face up. The wide green stripe was present, but it was the darkest evergreen and nearly blended with the surrounding color, which was black, as it is on the other side. I think the material is in the serpentine family, which seems soft for a tool. Anyway, I put it in a frame with the side seen in the first photo face down, because I thought the beat up bit looked better that way, i.e., as seen in the last photo. A few days later, I took it out, turned it over, and the stripe was now bright green, rather then dark evergreen, with all new green areas as well! "Wow, now that's weird, but pretty, I'll display it that way" thinks I. So I do, and days later all the green is gone except for a dark evergreen stripe, it had gone back to how it looked the day I found it. Huh? So "nice" side down it went again, and sure enough the color came back. If I want it to stay that nice color, that side has to be face down, so that side is not exposed to light, and so it is. Mood celt? :blink: :rolf:
At 11/2 inches, it's a miniature celt and was nicely fashioned.
