Agate / Crystal Geode

Ivory shells open onto a golden, sugar-dusted hollow.

This is an agate and crystal geode. Agate is a banded variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz, and its layers often appear in bands of white, gray, blue or brown. Couple of off-white halves with thick, smooth walls. Inside, a honey-yellow surface glitters with fine granular points, framed by a pale pink ring. The left half is a bit more textured and brown at its center. It is 4.5 inches wide, 3.75 deep and 2 high.

Like a tiny honey pot, minus the honey.
