large Chalcedony & Chalcedony on Calcite (Hunt Coll.)

Item Description

Sparkly gray and white drusy chalcedony in a striking artistic random pattern fully lines the sculptural large vug in the well-prepared basalt matrix. The piece is dramatically accented by both chalcedony colors coating two different habits of calcite crystals. Drusy white chalcedony coats striking, contrasting sharp calcite rhombohedrons, to 2.8 cm. Both gray and white chalcedony interestingly and preferentially coat calcite scalenohedrons, to 5.0 cm. A highly unusual and very showy large combination from Jalgaon. Jalgaon continually amazes with variety of species and high quality of specimens produced from the Deccan Traps. Ex Taylor Hunt Collection.
