Item Description

Outstanding cluster of bluish-gray Quartz crystals coated by tan, ankeritic (iron rich) Calcite. The Quartz crystals are slender and sharp, with some reaching over 4 cm. The very fine Calcite coating is preferential, which adds greatly to the aesthetics. It is almost as if the one side of the cluster was downwind and was coated as the flow hit it. Good quality and appeal.
