Quartz (var: Chalcedony) (new find) (reminiscent of Cornwall!)

Item Description

From a new discovery in August of 2018, these are some of the most unique and unusual Chalcedony specimens I've seen. Years ago, I remember seeing a handful of pieces from Cornwall, England that were fairly similar to this specimen, but it still has a look all its own. This new find was collected by a good friend in Greece who traveled to the small island of Lesvos (Lesbos), and discovered the deposit. The piece immediately reminded me of a windswept beach or rolling white-capped waves on the ocean with their gentle flowing forms that almost give the appearance of movement. There is obviously two generations of Chalcedony with a soft blue botryoidal layer underneath the white "flowing" generation on the top. It's a special piece for its beautiful form and wonderful color combination. You just don't see pieces like this very often, and outside of a handful of specimens from Cornwall, I've never seen anything quite like it. A must have for any Quartz collector.
