Pink Chalcedony (fluorescent)

Item Description

These distinctive Chalcedony specimens are found in various places in New Mexico (most famously from the Yankee Dog Claim in Hidalgo County), and while they all have similar shapes / styles, no two are quite the same. This particular specimen came from a few good friends who collected them on their claim in southwestern New Mexico. These specimens were found near Deming, and they're rare on the market. This XXXXXXXXXX sized piece is a gorgeous Chalcedony with a very eye-catching pink color (with hints of lilac and white hues). The piece has that has formed in a lovely banded / layered growth with a flowing semi-botryoidal form. There is a soft almost "waxy" luster on the exterior, which gives the piece a gentle elegance. It's fairly translucent, and looks really nice when backlit. Additionally, the piece glows with an electric green hue under SW UV light. If you're a Quartz collector or a fan of its many varieties, this is a worthwhile and eye-catching colorful specimens from New Mexico that would make a nice addition to your collection.
