Item Description

Shocking neon-green fluorescent hyalite opal is richly included in chalcedony in this sculptural and excellent geode pair from Mexico. The chalcedony in the interior has a distinctive floral, barnacle or ropy look adding much character to this fine geode. Chalcedony with this unusual form with hyalite opal is typical from here. Las Trancas is famous for "Mexican Coconut" geodes that come from a volcanic tuffaceous ash flow.
