Rough Agate/Chalcedony Specimen

The item is a mineral specimen, likely a rough piece of agate or chalcedony. It is irreqular in shape, with a rough, unpolished exterior showing evidence of natural formation. The dominant colors are light gray to off-white with significant areas of reddish-brown and orange matrix adhering to the surface. The material has a translucent to semi-translucent appearance in areas where the outer matrix is less dense. The top portion shows a somewhat smoother, though still uneven, surface with a waxy or vitreous luster where it is clean. The lower portion is heavily encrusted with a rough, earthy matrix. There are visible pits and crevices within the matrix and the mineral itself, likely from natural wear and erosion. No apparent signs of cutting, polishing, or artificial alteration are visible. The overall impression is that of a naturally occurring mineral sample in its raw state. The specific size is not provided, but it appears to be handheld.
