Item Description

Mineral specimens from this very obscure New Mexico locality in the Organ Mts are extremely RARE. This surreal sculptural miniature consists of tiny quartz points that have pseudomorphed very sharp upright barite spearpoints. The striking hollow quartz shells of the barites, as seen from one side and the bottom, are epimorphs. The fantastic Christmas tree epimorph is 3.8 cm tall. RARE and exceptional pseudomorph quartz from the Chris Cowan Collection, a New Mexico specialist.
