China News Service, January 28. According to foreign media reports, recently, a stone found in Brazil became popular on the Internet because its shape resembles the character "Sugar Monster" on the American TV show "Sesame Street".
The California gem collector Mike Bowles posted a video on social networking sites, and the video quickly spread on social platforms.

According to reports, the iconic song of "Sweet Cookie Monster" was played in the video. The screen showed that a stone that had been cut in half was opened, and the inside of the stone looked like the character of "Sesame Street".
Although the outer surface of the stone looks white and rough, the smooth and shiny agate mineral on the inner surface resembles a "cookie monster".
The popularity of this stone eventually attracted the attention of the "Sweet Cookie Monster". Its official social network account posted: "I am not a geologist, but I think this stone is very similar to me..."
According to the report, this "cookie monster" stone was originally discovered in Brazil in November 2020. Gemologist Lucas Fasari gave it to Bowers and told him "you have to look at this."
Bowers said that someone offered more than ten thousand dollars for the stone, but he did not intend to sell it.
He said: "For now, we will keep this stone." "It is likely to be collected by a museum or by a high-end collection, or by a very special person, but currently we like it very much."
