A very unusual and stunning formation with of a mix of minerals and beautiful fusion of colors. This freestanding piece conserves part of the original geode and it is still possible to appreciate the basalt to the side and at the back in its rough state. The edges have been polished to reveal the red-brown agate underlying a thin layer of white quartz, followed by an intense red Druze. The outstanding red color is beautifully complimented by a layer of white quartz, enhancing its intense sparkle. At the heart of the piece we can appreciate other mineral formations such as 2 calcite formations, one covered by a blanket of red Druze and another with black Druze, with details of orange and white quartz crystals.
