(terrestrial) is alien hard as Rock
The object in the image appears to be a piece of jasper, a type of opaque, fine-grained chalcedony quartz. Composition:
Jasper is an opaque rock whose color variations are due to the mineral content of its original sediments or volcanic ash.
Formation:
It typically forms when fine particulate materials are cemented by silica, often occurring in soft sediments where silica precipitates and solidifies them.
Appearance:
The patterns seen in jasper, such as those resembling flow or depositional patterns, arise during this consolidation process.
Varieties:
There are many varieties of jasper, including leopard skin jasper with circular patterns, red picture jasper, and ocean jasper.
