Featured Large bazoar ????????

Yours doesn’t look as if it feels like fuzzy felt Charlie, looks more stone like.

 

Sounds like something you would hear on eastenders or such

Ohhh that poor coooaw

 

No your right house, not fuzzy at all, hard as stone

Hopefully that means it has some age to it, looks and feels like it has

 

Think you did ok for a fiver and people here have had fun looking at it.

 

Holy cow! Learned my something new for the day. Had never seen one of these before. Looks like there’s a couple big money ones on eBay but I don’t see any sold on there for too much. For five you couldn’t go wrong though! Should pay off at some point, somewhere! I wouldn’t mind having one on a shelf just for sh*ts and giggles.

 

Found this one in the eBay solds(not as big as mine)but looks alike

There ya go! The base really sets it apart! I’d start looking for one that works for yours! Maybe something meant for an old baseball, cricket ball, or gemstone.

 

Yeah good idea that Jd

Makes it look more special indeed

 

Charlie's is an enterolite bezoar, or stone inside the digestive system. Those are the real bezoars, the sought after magic stones. They are not made of hair at all, they are stones.

Hairballs are very different from besoars, although they are sometimes called tricho-bezoars.
There are also phyto-bezoars, which can form after eating certain unripe Asian fruits. As far as I know the hairballs and plant matter ones are not traditionally considered bezoars and have no magic value.

I can hear Kat Slater saying that.

 

Very interesting thanks Aj

Absolutely who I was picturing !!

Aaffie, make sure you buy her some flowers, the poor old caaaah

 

She does it so perfectly.

That's it, caaah!

 

Ageed,the base makes it look like art or a rare specimen.

 

Interesting thing. Cool find!

 

@charlie cheswick That is very cool!
It's an interesting piece.

This proves you can sell anything to people with money, for a considerable amount of money.... Who knew....lol

I must say, the next time i find deer skat with an interesting look in the woods, I am going to gather it up and put it under glass and consign it for sale at the local antique shop!!

 

Probably got to do with the rarity of them though George, they probably are a bizarre occurrence

I imagine there's been quite alot more deer skat about than these things, interesting looking or not !
