One of the more beautiful silicified mammal bones I’ve found, orange glass trabecula with opalized agate infill. Something like this would easily transmit light, but it has some sedimentary rock attached at its back, preventing light from coming through. Still very beautiful.

Silicified mammal bone, though not translucent, still love this specimen, so glass like!
