Item Description
Sparkling, gemmy, light coffee-colored eosphorite crystals (a hydrated manganese, aluminum phosphate) preferentially coat glassy, gemmy, doubly terminated quartz crystals. A nice contrast in color and texture! Complete all-around and in very good shape, with only contacting lower on one end. This scintillating piece has fine form, with the multiple terminations at each end of the quartz cluster. Excellent material from a new and recent find
