Raw Chalcedony Specimen
The item is a rough, unpolished specimen of a mineral, likely Chalcedony, held in a person's hand. It exhibits a translucent to milky white coloration with areas of light yellowing. The surface is botryoidal, characterized by rounded, globular formations that resemble clusters of grapes. Sections of the exterior show evidence of a rough, brownish matrix or host rock still attached, indicating it was recently extracted or is in its natural state. There are visible veins and inclusions of the brown material throughout the specimen. The overall shape is irregular and organic, typical of how minerals form within cavities. The surface is somewhat lustrous, especially in the areas that appear wet or polished by handling. There are no discernible manufacturer's marks, signatures, or stamps. The condition appears natural with no signs of repair, though the attached matrix is a common feature of raw specimens. The age is geological, and the style is that of a raw mineral formation.
