Chalcedony/Quartz stalagmite geode (Trimingham Coll.)

Item Description

This is about the niftiest chalcedony/quartz stalagmite geode you can imagine! The gorgeous, aesthetically scattered columns, to 2.9 cm, are composed of iron oxide-tinted chalcedony with sparkling overcoats of secondary microcrystalline quartz. Most of the longer tips are gently broken (they probably extended to the roof of the vug), but have almost negligible impact to the overall surreal quality of this extravagant piece. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
