Pink Chalcedony (GREEN fluorescence!)

Item Description

There are many localities in the southwestern United States were these gorgeous Chalcedony specimens have been found. This particular piece is actually from a small claim in southwestern New Mexico owned by a few friends of ours. These attractive pink Chalcedony specimens have been found in various localities in New Mexico, e.g., the Yankee Dog Claim in Hidalgo County, but the specimens from near Deming are rare on the market. This miniature sized has a very eye-catching pink color and has formed in a lovely banded / layered growth with a flowing somewhat botryoidal form and an almost ethereal appearance. 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. When the piece is exposed to UV light, it glows a gorgeous bright green hue! 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.
