{"product_id":"lavender-chalcedony","title":"Lavender Chalcedony","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"68\" data-end=\"455\"\u003eThis lavender chalcedony formed as silica-rich fluids slowly deposited microscopic quartz fibers within cavities and fractures of volcanic rock. Over time, layer upon layer of cryptocrystalline silica developed into the smooth, translucent material characteristic of chalcedony. The soft lavender coloration is caused by trace mineral inclusions and subtle variations during formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"457\" data-end=\"748\"\u003eThe Mamuju region of West Sulawesi has become known for producing unusually colored chalcedony with delicate pastel tones and exceptional translucency. Unlike large crystalline quartz, chalcedony forms from tightly intergrown quartz fibers, giving it its waxy luster and smooth appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"750\" data-end=\"929\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eSoft in color yet visually striking, this specimen reflects the quiet, gradual processes of silica deposition that create some of nature’s most subtle and elegant mineral forms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mineral Nexus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43376937762906,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/2504\/6618\/files\/MN0368-LavenderChalcedony-Indonesia-_95_9_-Edited.jpg?v=1778801864","url":"https:\/\/themineralnexus.com\/products\/lavender-chalcedony","provider":"Mineral Nexus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
