Chalcedony is a cryptocrystalline form of silica, composed of extremely fine intergrowths of quartz and related silica minerals.
Its microscopic crystalline structure produces beautiful and distinctive optical patterns when observed under polarized light. Fine varieties of chalcedony have also been valued as ornamental and gemstone materials for centuries.
Please refer to Photos 2 and 3 for examples of the specimen observed under a polarizing microscope.
Observation magnification: 160×
The intricate structure and optical effects of chalcedony make this an especially attractive specimen for polarizing microscopy.
