Milk dZi 9

            I will definitely write about these Milk Agate beads in more detail.
Now I will just say that this is one of the rarest minerals used to make dZi beads. This mineral only grows in the Himalayas and on the surface, never underground. Therefore, geologists believe that its reserves are completely exhausted. The molecular formula of this mineral is the same as that of Agate and Quartz - it is silicon dioxide (SiO2) with small inclusions. But strictly speaking in scientific terms, this mineral is not Agate, since it does not have a crystalline body inside and has a different microcrystalline structure. It would be more correct to call this mineral Opalized White Chalcedony.

Beads from this mineral are extremely rare, those beads that can be found on sale today are cast copies. However, a living mineral has a fractal structure; at high magnification, you can see a microcrystalline structure and micropores - they look like the finest hairs 1-2 mm in size and 0.02 mm thick.
It's funny how nature took care of counterfeit protection - these hairs resemble hairs on banknotes, only they appeared billions of years earlier.
Look at the macro photos of DZi Milk in the album.
