Exklusive Chalcedon-Freiform – Natürliche Eleganz in Perfektion

Diese Chalcedon-Freiform beeindruckt mit einer einzigartigen Farbkomposition aus warmem Goldgelb, tiefem Schwarz und sanftem Weiß. Die fließenden, natürlichen Muster harmonieren perfekt mit der polierten Oberfläche, wodurch die Details und Strukturen des Steins besonders zur Geltung kommen.

Ein wahres Unikat, das ideal für die Dekoration, als energetisches Zentrum oder als meditativer Fokus dient. Chalcedon ist bekannt für seine beruhigenden und harmonisierenden Eigenschaften und wird oft mit innerer Balance und Klarheit in Verbindung gebracht.

Origin: Madagascar

It is a fossil wood dating back 200 million years, all parts from a log or branches have been silicified, meaning that organic components were little by little replaced by silicon in the form of jasper, chalcedony and more rarely opal. Without the organic parts, all the living matter was replaced by stone : there are growth rings, cell separations, almost like worm cracks.
Its features are those of the mineral that would have pseudo-transformed the wood : the silicon.
And that’s what we call a "petrified wood" in the common language.

The lots were photographed under professional lights. Please note that the colours might differ depending on the monitor settings and light source.
