Carnelian Agate Mineral Specimen | Distinctive organic-form display piece
This Carnelian Agate Vertebra specimen is rare and visually striking, perfect for collectors seeking unique and organic crystal formations. Its triangular, vertebra-like geometric structure is naturally sculpted through the erosion of surrounding porous minerals, leaving the harder chalcedony in distinctive spined formations.
Polished naturally by mineral processes, the specimen displays rich red hues from iron oxide impurities, giving it a lustrous semi-precious appearance reminiscent of polished Carnelian used in jewellery, seals, and small sculptures.
The vertebrae formations are a naturally sculpted phenomenon that makes each specimen entirely unique. The sizeable and raw form of this specimen highlights its unusual structure, making it a remarkable centerpiece for any mineral collection.
