Hmmmm…looks like a really weird mineral sample. The Museum of Natural History? It might even be malachite! (One of my favorite minerals. 😀 )

I have no clue, but it looks like hair on a statue. Can’t wait to learn where/what it is.

I’d have to say the mineral collection at the American Museum of Natural History.

sea asparagus ( http://www.mistymt.com/specialty/salicornia.shtml )? So maybe a grocery store like Whole Foods or something?

Looks like the end of a steel cable from a suspension bridge or elevator that has been melted. Could it be from World Trade Center?

my first thought was a statue, but I went to the Met. But I can’t figure out of what because the photo creeps me out! Eeps.

Definitely a type of copper or malachite. Probably in a museum because a piece like that would highly valuable. I have a small sample of the similar mineral

I live in the south, but it is copper wire. Looks like a cable that has weathered outside for sometime.

If she were American she wouldn’t have underarms hair. Or, tragically, another sort of body hair 🙁
