Item Description
An attractive Quartz specimen featuring predominant "cast" of sugary Quartz after Calcite. Virtually damage free on the display side, except for one spot where the cast was broken. These "cast" specimens have been called "epimorphs" for years, but they are now correctly identified as being "perimorphs". If you're a Colorado collector, or a Quartz collector, this is a great opportunity to add an attractive display piece from an uncommon locality in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado to your collection. Collected by Robert Stoufer 1984.
