Agatized Botryoidal Chalcedony – Layered Growth with Smooth Overgrowth – Maharashtra, India lenticular Yellow calcite crystal with multipleA distinctive specimen of botryoidal chalcedony exhibiting layered silica growth and partial agatization. Rounded chalcedony domes are overlain by a smooth, translucent secondary chalcedony layer, creating a soft, frosted visual effect while preserving the underlying botryoidal structure. The contrast between darker, more lustrous chalcedony and the lighter overgrowth reflects stages of silica deposition within a volcanic cavity. The result is a piece
