Geological Specifications

Mineral: Chalcedony (Quartz variety)

Crystal System: Trigonal (cryptocrystalline quartz)
Hardness: 6.5 – 7 on the Mohs scale

Chalcedony is a microcrystalline form of quartz composed of extremely fine intergrowths of quartz and moganite. It commonly forms in volcanic rock cavities where silica-rich fluids slowly deposit layers of mineral growth.

“Black Velvet Chalcedony” is a collector name used for chalcedony specimens that feature a dark matrix covered with a sparkling druzy surface of tiny quartz crystals, creating a soft velvety appearance.

These types of specimens are often found in basalt deposits where mineral-rich fluids have coated the surface with fine quartz crystals.
