A geode section lined with black stalactitic chalcedony, partly frosted with a glittering chalcedony druse. The dark stalactites hang into the pocket like miniature cave formations, and the druse catches light across their surfaces, so the piece sparkles even though its base color is nearly black.
Black chalcedony is far less common than the white, grey and blue varieties found in Nashik basalt, and stalactitic growth adds a sculptural element that plain crusts lack. The contrast between the dark chalcedony and its glittering coat is the feature of this cabinet specimen, collected in 2021.
