Pink / Lavender Chalcedony (fluorescent) (NEW FIND)

Item Description

If you're familiar with minerals from Arizona and New Mexico, you know that there are many different localities that produce these gorgeous Chalcedony specimens. Near the end of 2021, a couple friends of ours found these beautiful Chalcedony specimens from their brand new claim. We selected a handful of what we considered to be the best specimens from the lot and we're throwing some in the auctions to give everybody a chance to get their hands on one. This is a wonderful and very eye-catching piece of this new and exciting material featuring lovely lavender to pinkish colored somewhat layered / compressed group of Chalcedony that has formed in an almost "disc"-like shape sitting on rhyolite matrix. The exterior of the Chalcedony has what I would call a waxy luster, but is not dull per se. The piece is actually fairly translucent and fine quality if considered for lapidary use. The color and form truly draw your attention, as the piece at first glance might remind one of something organic like coral. The piece fluoresces a BRIGHT NEON green hue under SW UV light. For those who collect Quartz and its numerous varieties, or for anybody interesting in colorful specimens from the southwestern United States, don't miss out on this one, it's better than most Chalcedony you'll see on the market, especially from the standpoint of color and quality.
