After a journey of over 11,000 km, Terrae Minéraux can finally present our 61g grape or botryoidal chalcedony, entirely crystallized in microcrystalline quartz. In terms of colors, the chalcedony is mainly a very beautiful lavender purple, with one or two green spots and a slight off-white in places. An acrylic stand to hold your chalcedony upright will be included in the package so you can display it in your collection, on your coffee table, or anywhere in your home to add a colorful and decorative touch.

Note: Particular care has been taken to best respect the natural colors of the minerals offered to you. Photos are taken under the best conditions, and slightly retouched to best resemble the original stone. However, there may be slight contrasts due to the different screens used and their brightness.
