RARE Selenite Scepter Covered In Chalcedony x Stilbite

This is a perfectly terminated selenite blade, covered in sugary chalcedony and the final outer layer of peach stilbite. This is one of only three that were found, being the largest of the group. 

Selenite coated with chalcedony, as seen in this specimen, is a rare and distinctive find, particularly from the Jalgaon region. Chalcedony generally forms in volcanic rock cavities, and its combination with selenite (a gypsum variety) creates a fascinating mineralogical pairing. The occurrence of both minerals together is quite uncommon, as it requires very specific geological conditions for their simultaneous formation.
