Description

Striking Black Chalcedony cut-base specimen with sparkling druzy surface and Calcite crystal formation.

The piece features a dark chalcedony cavity lined with fine druzy crystals that create a soft shimmering texture across the surface. A large translucent calcite crystal sits prominently within the cavity, creating a beautiful focal point.

The cut base allows the piece to stand upright naturally, making it a stunning display specimen for collectors or crystal shelves.
Geological Specifications

Minerals: Chalcedony with Calcite

Crystal Systems:
• Chalcedony – Trigonal (cryptocrystalline quartz)
• Calcite – Trigonal

Hardness:
• Chalcedony – 6.5 – 7
• Calcite – 3

Chalcedony is a microcrystalline variety of quartz that forms when silica-rich fluids deposit layers of mineral growth inside cavities within volcanic rock.

These cavities often later allow additional minerals such as calcite to crystallise on top of the chalcedony surface. The druzy texture seen in chalcedony specimens forms when thousands of tiny quartz crystals grow together, creating a sparkling surface.

Cut-base specimens are shaped at the base so they can stand upright naturally, allowing the crystal interior to be displayed.
