Item Description

A very showy and nifty, intergrown, mounded cluster of sharp datolite and "beta" quartz crystals nearly totally coated with sparkly, drusy quartz. Interestingly, some of the drusy quartz has a preferential brown color. Just a few of the crystals at the top of the piece are not fully coated with drusy quartz. Except for some minor periphery wear at the base, this excellent piece is complete all-around and pristine. Highly representative and unusual combination material from this noted locale.
