Pink Chalcedony (fluorescent)

Item Description

This attractive specimen comes to us from a few good friends who collected them on their claim in southwestern New Mexico, south of the city of Deming. These lovely pink Chalcedony pieces have been found in various localities in the southwestern United States, famously from the Yankee Dog Claim in Hidalgo County, New Mexico but the specimens from near Deming are rare on the market. This attractive miniature is a gorgeous example of this unique form of Chalcedony with a very eye-catching pink color. The piece has that has formed in a lovely banded / layered growth with a flowing semi-botryoidal form, and an open cavity in the center. 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.
