Item Description
Just a little cutie! One rarely sees good QUARTZ from this mine, and here is a multi-layered quartz specimen, with a thin coating of secondary quartz druse atop the underlaying crystal. Perched on the cluster, in a nest of dark geothite that is attached, is n 8 mm rhodochrosite crystal. Unusual!
