Item Description
A really unusual specimen that looks like you are looking to infinity down a geode, with little towers and serrations of fantastic complexity! The sparkling little growths are druses of chalcedony over or perhaps replaceing previously grown stalactitic calcite, I suspect. It is not a fancy or valuable specimen, but it is just plain "neat" to look at! The crystallization is just on a more minute and fine scale, than we normally see from here, which makes it more complex than at first it appears in the photos. I normally do not get excited about these, but this one is "different".
