This is an lovely carved AGATE GEODE crescent MOON with a large Druzy lined VUG in one side. Several small brown Dendritic inclusions are present in the top (if the moon is facing right / waning crescent). They may resemble plant-life at first glance, but are actually made up of Iron in this case. The soft, almost luminous, coloring in this one is very apt for a moon carving. Subtle banding patterns are present throughout.
Including the vug, there are small natural organic formations throughout. ALL formations are 100% natural parts of the crystal.
It weighs about 7.3oz (so just under half a pound) and measures approximately 4 7/8" inches tall by about 3 3/4" inches across the widest point. Code-041025-3874
