M556 - Arizona

Many of them have bizarre shapes like the third specimen with a "cup" inside a cavity that is outlined with small quartz crystals. The cup is actually a funnel that has a little tube on its bottom connecting it with the other side. Such hollow tubes are not uncommon on chalcedony roses. Chalcedony roses and agate can be found at many gravel planes near old volcanoes in the Southwestern United States.

Chalcedony roses are also named conchas. The "backs" of the roses usually have the typical waxy surface of chalcedony, but the frontal side shows radially grown quartz crystals on its edges and sometimes an icing of tiny sparkling quartz crystals in the center. These unusual formations are usually found in pink, or partially pink, and white.
