QUARTZ var. CHALCEDONY (Agatized Coral)
Mossey Hammock Grade
near Econfina Landing
Taylor County, Florida, USA
Cabinet – Matched Pair (8.5 x 5.9 x 2.4 cm & 9.0 x 5.8 x 3.3 cm)
This is a rare specimen from the long-closed “Perry” North Florida locality which was open briefly during the early 1970’s. Translucent tea-colored fortification agate with gray banding defines an internal botryoidal void space, coated in places with white to tan common opal. This specimen is split down the middle by an external channel, likely the result of pre-silicification clam borings. The geode pockets wraps around the back side of this feature. Fluorescent yellow under longwave and shortwave UV light. Collected from the St. Marks Formation (lower Miocene). Sold as a polished, matched pair.
