Rounded chalcedony domes are overlain by a smooth, translucent secondary chalcedony layer, creating a soft, frosted visual effect while preserving the underlying botryoidal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrast between darker, more lustrous chalcedony and the lighter overgrowth reflects stages of silica deposition within a volcanic cavity.
