A geologist has found a lump of volcanic rock in Brazil which when cut open reveals an uncanny similarity to Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster. The rock has entranced geologists, Sesame fans and people in general as pictures of the grinning prehistoric cookie nut fly across social media. The rock was found in the Rio Grande dol sul region near Soledade by a man identified as Lucas Fassari. He sent it to a California rock specialist named Mike Bowers. Mr. Bowers posted these pictures on his Facebook page and made an entertaining video with the voice of the cookie monster. The rock was found in November 2020 and looked deceptively uninteresting until it was sliced. Bowers says the interior contains deep blue quartz crystals that form the Cookie Monster face and that it may have a value of as much as $10,000.
