I found it hiking near Lethbridge, Alberta years ago, just found it again while going through old boxes. The wavy lines look kind of organic, but I don't know about the rest.

Fine! Maybe. My curiosity is greater than my attachment.

Yeah boi! Can you reply to me with a pic of what's inside so I don't miss it?

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I will! But it might be a while. I found it in a box when visiting my parents. Put it back in the box before I left.
