A beautiful 4.2 oz rough lavender chalcedony specimen with smoky lilac-gray translucency and flowing, shell-like fracture surfaces. This one-of-a-kind African chalcedony piece has smooth waxy-to-vitreous faces, soft honey-colored illumination at thinner edges, and irregular natural fracture contours. It complements our larger 5.6 oz lavender chalcedony while remaining a separate, individually photographed stone.

Mineral Character

Chalcedony is a microcrystalline silica material prized for its soft translucency, waxy sheen and conchoidal fractures. Subtle lavender tones and muted gray undertones make this rough hand specimen appealing both as a display piece and potential lapidary material. Colors may vary slightly under different lighting.

Traditional Metaphysical Associations

Traditional belief, not scientifically proven: Lavender chalcedony is associated with calm, communication, emotional balance and reflection.

Care

Handle sharp rough edges carefully; clean with a damp soft cloth and avoid strong chemicals or sudden temperature changes.
