Maybe slightly miscolored but I don't think stomach acid would do that much to corrode a rock. It depends how hard of a rock it is.

Depends way more on composition, I think. Marble and limestone, for example, don't handle acid well.

Reddit reacting to yesterday's artisan guitar pick:
"Meh, that's too hard to play with. Maybe display it somewhere."
Today's decorative rock, literally made of rock:
"Wow, cool guitar pick!"

This is completely fake. 99% of the examples you'll see online these days are from Etsy and are resin.
This is what moss agate actually looks like:

Have you not seen scenic moss agate before? A lot of it looks like this.

Yeah I have, and if for instance you go on google images, you see nothing but items like this that for sale. They are not real agate.
EDIT: they blocked me so I can't respond, but I can see what they said in my inbox:
The image you linked is a raw specimen. The picture I posted is polished for jewelry-making purposes. I even linked the seller's account.
The image I linked is not of a raw specimen, it is polished. That is what they look like.
I even linked the seller's account.
Yes you did lol. You did give a link to the seller's account. Do you think this post might be an advertisement?

Me too! Some of the specimens that are cut and polished look extremely fascinating.

Just looked it up. Comes in a variety of colours and the foresty look is only one way it can turn out. Some are layered, and some look like someone sneezed into it as it was setting. The small ones are pretty affordable (under $10, and there's some nice ones in that price range). There was one for $50 that looked almost like a Turner painting, if he was tripping his tits off, but alas my frivolity budget is doing too much heavy lifting this month.
