Balance Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 They appear to be partially silified. Botryoidal Chalcedony is the term. Basically, they’re growing crystals. 😊 Here are some examples. These are just fragments of pieces like yours. Other members have way nicer examples than theses. @Shellseeker has a shell that’s completely filled in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 2 hours ago, Balance said: Botryoidal Chalcedony A couple of examples that I really like. Botryoidal means "shaped like a bunch of grapes" Druzy is the white spots on top of the grapes. Silicified broken seashells in the Peace River provide the "caves" where Botryoidal Druzy can grow... To me, these are a fantastic present from the River. 3 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
