This is an absolutely gorgeous Carnelian crescent MOON carving with a large VUG in one side. The vug is full of tiny sparkly Druzy crystals, with darker red/reddish orange (iron content) tints. Interesting subtle banding and patterns. I absolutely love it! The side with the vug has a small heart at the top, and the other side has a face on it. It stands upright beautifully.
Including the vug, there are small natural organic formations throughout. ALL formations are 100% natural parts of the crystal.
It weighs about 2.2oz and measures approximately just over 2 1/2" inches tall by about 2 1/8" inches across the widest point. Code-051124-3792
