If you like small collectible stones, here is our 10g botryoidal chalcedony. With a pure and more intense purple in the center, you will find a lighter purple all around the mineral, which you can admire even more when you hold it up to the light. You will find many very well-formed grape-like crystals all over the stone, and an appreciable shimmering effect on both sides. A translucent base will be offered with the chalcedony so that you can elevate it if you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParticular care has been taken to best respect the natural colors of the minerals offered to you.
