Item Description
This unusual, elegant cluster of sharp crystals looks like it was put together, but is entirely natural and starkly geometric. It features quartz crystals showing highly unusual elongation, and completely included (not just coated) with chlorite. It is complete and without repair or damage, almost a floater save only for the bottom tip where it shows an attachment point. Ex. John White collection and donated from his collection, to support the Mineralogical Record. Valued $750-1000. John was the first editor of the Mineralogical Record in the 1970s!
