The first photo is a specimen I found at Diamond Hill. Within the points, there is a hexagonal crystal of something sticking out. This hex crystal seems to be decomposing (hollow perhaps) One can see a hole in the upper facet.
The next two photos are the mystery. When I first moved to this area from the NJ area, we had several visitors from our family, and I took two of them to a seeded, bucket of dirt operation by lake lure. Having done these types of places before, my strategy always is to clean and save everything that isn't dirt, and inspect them later. Amidst all the "gems"of my particular bucket, I found what is pictured in photos 2 and 3. It looks like crystal carved into the shape of a horses head, complete with bits, reins, etc. It looks hand-worked, but I am not an expert. I do not know where the seeded mine got its loads of dirt, either. Any help from those with artifact experience, perhaps have seen something like this before. Any info is appreciated.
