A sculptural and beautiful LARGE CABINET-sized chalcedony "rose" from near Deming, New Mexico! I love the drape-like or rope-like fringe around the bull's-eyes in the center. The fringe looks like frosting on a cake. The translucent chalcedony is a pleasing, very light pastel-pink and has moderate lime-green fluorescence. This aesthetic specimen was self-collected by Don Moore of Las Cruces, New Mexico in 2001 and is from the Stoudt Collection.
