Fossilized dinosaur bone?


Lavender Celled Gemmy Dinosaur Bone

Agatized fossilized dinosaur bones are petrified with silica or quartz crystals which gives
 them their colorful, 

glassy appearance. This process preserves the actual cell structure of the once living
 dinosaur.

This looked a bit over the top to me, so I looked around, and lo and behold, there are plenty of these stones out there, albeit a bit less gaudy, for sale.  I guess there really is such a thing.
