Description

From the volcanites of Milos island, in a poorly known, unmarked spot of the high hills of Plaka, a rather rich miniature specimen of white chalcedony with quite smooth, rounded surface appears as an open vein.

On the side, a small centimetric geode opens up and hosts a few milky quartz crystals. 
A one-off find, self collected in 2016!
