Item Description
A fabulously formed nodule of light lavender and tan chalcedony with the two circular forms looking just like rose blossoms. Specimens from this obscure locality have been periodically on the market, but none since the mid 1990s. The sculptural quality is striking and beautiful, but the intense, psychedelic, fluorescence is stunning, with lime-greens, pinks and blues! Old material from the 1960s or 70s from the Mullane Collection.
