  1. I'm surprised you haven't pointed out the elephant on his head. It's made up of what is his hair. I have found some of these myself and have seen examples from Europe. If I might also suggest that you look for images of volcanoes in your other stones. You might be pleasantly surprised. For more info on these you can e-mail me at wanderingrock.1@gmail.com
