Smoky quartz point with hyalite Magnetite " Thick lava-like ropy banding

" Thick lava-like ropy banding create the raised cup of chalcedony with a hollow interior

Chalcedony is the cryptocrystalline version of quartz

Etching causes the diagonal cross-hatched pattern on the face of some crystals

and are among the earliest forms of life—and fossils—on our Earth
