Crystallized Quartz Appraisal

Raw Botryoidal Quartz or Chalcedony Specimen

The item is a raw, unpolished mineral specimen. Its dominant color is a translucent, milky white, with a vitreous or waxy luster visible across the bubbly, botryoidal surface. The texture of the white portion is uneven and organic, resembling clustered spheres. Scattered within the white material are areas of brownish-orange inclusion, with one larger, more prominent area located near the top right. These brown areas appear more opaque and have a rougher texture. Smaller, thread-like brown inclusions and dark spots are also present within the translucent white material, suggesting natural mineral deposits or impurities. The form of the specimen is irregular and appears to be a fractured or natural piece. There are no visible signs of cutting, polishing, or any human modification. The size, based on the hand holding it, appears to be approximately palm-sized. There are no discernible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps. The raw nature suggests it is either a recently collected specimen or has not undergone any processing. The quality of the material appears good for a natural specimen, with the translucency and bubbly texture being notable features. The brownish inclusions add visual interest.
