Okenite on Blue Chalcedony, with Calcite
Aurangabad, Maharashta, India
5.0 cm x 4.4 cm x 1.0 cm
Out of an old collection, come this beautiful and delicate specimen.
This is a very aesthetic combination of textures and colors across this okenite association.
These specimens are quite uncommon, mined long ago. You just do not see the blue chalcedony matrix these day.
White acicular "puffballs" of okenite, formed a top of this delecate matrix of blue and green botryoidal Chalcedony.
There is also a single crystal of calcite that does fluoresce pink under shortwave uv light.
The chalcedony matrix is delecate, so handle with care and expect to see some slight sheding in the box.
