Description

I had this one in my collection for years: interesting botroidal chalcedony with whitish to reddish-orange colour from the andesite occurences in the Freisen region, which is famous in Germany for its agate and smoky quartz specimens.

This one is unusual, a part of a geode in paleo-andesites of permian age.

Collected in 1994.
