As the silica solidifies into chalcedony, these minerals crystallise into branching, tree-like structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe druzy pockets form later, when open cavities allow silica-rich fluids to deposit tiny quartz crystals lining the voids — creating the sparkling internal textures seen here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Excellent overall condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Natural surface features and internal cavities\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Clean polish with strong structural integrity\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Ballerz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53820302066005,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1039\/9295\/1125\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_7b38b1d3-dcd6-4431-af3a-8319f262de23.jpg?v=1777899452","url":"https:\/\/crystalballerz.co.uk\/products\/moss-agate-tower","provider":"Crystal Ballerz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
