Opt fucks, it's up there among my favorite cards, I am never sad about having one in hand.
The JP Strixhaven Mystical Archive art by Rien. might be one of my favorite pieces of art in Magic, full stop.

Here is the sponge Astraeospongium meniscus that I found in the Upper Silurian Brownsport Group in Hardin, Tennessee. You can see star-shaped Spicuels. They are made up of Calcium carbonate and serve as the "skeleton" or support structure for the sponge.

1st century mosaic niche found at Baiae, near Naples. The niche would have been located in a garden or courtyard. Now part of the collections at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
