Item Description

These beautiful specimens are rare survivors of a small find that produced GREAT carving rough for cabochons and jewelry made of chalcedony (its gemmy and transparent/translucent!), to the detriment of the original specimens from our point of view! This is rare and beautiful material from the early 1990s. A large attractive specimen of glassy, translucent, pretty lilac-blue chalcedony pseudomorphing sharp fluorite cubes. The pseudos rest on banded quartz matrix. Showy, excellent and uncommon material. Ex Charlie Key Collection and valued at $400.
