Chalcedony
$325.00
Chalcedony stalactites are remarkable and intriguing natural formations, typically found in caves and other geologic environments. These stalactites exhibit a diverse range of colors, from pale white to rich brown, and are characterized by their elongated, cylindrical shapes. The surface can vary from smooth to a bumpy texture, often displaying concentric banding that reveals the intricate layering of the chalcedony.
Formed over extended periods, these structures develop as mineral-rich water drips from the ceiling of a cave or other geological setting. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind silica deposits, which gradually accumulate to create the stalactite. Commonly found in caves, volcanic formations, and regions with significant mineral deposits, chalcedony is a variety of quartz, and its stalactites often form in conjunction with other minerals, adding to their uniqueness and appeal.
