{"product_id":"polished-lavender-chalcedony-crystal-druze-plate","title":"Polished Lavender Chalcedony Crystal Druze Plate","description":"A chalcedony druzy plate is a beautiful mineral specimen featuring a flat or plate-like base of chalcedony (a microcrystalline quartz) covered in a sparkling layer of tiny, glittering quartz crystals, called druzy, often with other minerals like apophyllite or stilbite, creating unique textures, colors (blue, white, gray), and \"little volcano\" shapes, popular in crystal collections for both aesthetics and spiritual properties like calm and clear communication. \nWhat It Is:\nChalcedony Base: The main body of the specimen is chalcedony, a form of silica, often found in volcanic areas, forming in cavities or fractures.\nDruzy Layer: A sparkling crust of minute quartz crystals covers the chalcedony surface, creating a sugary or glittery effect, which is the \"druzy\" part.\nVariations: These plates can have other minerals like chlorite, calcite, apophyllite, or stilbite adding color and form. \nCommon Features:\nColors: Often found in blue-grey, white, or brown (due to iron oxides like limonite).\nTextures: Can range from fine druzy to botryoidal (grape-like clusters).\nShapes: Can be flat slices, rounded geodes, or irregular \"plates\" with unique formations. \nWhere They're Found:\nPopular sources include Morocco, India, Arizona (Fourth of July Butte), and Washington State (High Rock Quarry).","brand":"Earth's Sparkles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48007869530333,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0834\/5115\/0557\/files\/a70902dc-il_fullxfull.7672007353_anhr.jpg?v=1780935593","url":"https:\/\/earthssparkles.com\/products\/polished-lavender-chalcedony-crystal-druze-plate","provider":"Earth's Sparkles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
