Description

Chalcedony roses, also referred to as Amorite Chalcedony, are formed through the process of silica-rich fluids filling cavities in volcanic rock, subsequently crystallizing to create a botryoidal formation of microcrystalline quartz known as chalcedony.

Many specimens are preserved in their natural state and are highly valued by collectors. When sliced, the multiple layers of chalcedony become visible and can be showcased or cut into exquisite and durable cabochons.
