Stalactitic chalcedony geode "The Abalone"Locale: Atlas Mountains, Morocco Approx dimensions: 5 x 4 x 2" Approx weight: 393g These unusual geodes from Morocco are like small caves lined with stalactites, botryoidal forms, and swirling agate patterns. While commonly called red chalcedony, I find the color is more orange to red orangeor in the case of this specimen, more brick red orange. Hematite causes this coloration, but later phases of growth (second generation) dont contain hematite

or a lake shore

Broken or polished pieces can have lovely colors similar to low-quality petrified wood or jasper

Red quartz is often muted and not quite as glittery as other varieties

I would love to know more about how these geodes formed
