Measurements: 56 x 16 x 13 mm
Description: A lovely, gemmy, clear quartz crystal with beautiful growth patterns and fairly big termination facet and small female termination point.
Inside
the crystal
are several minute balls of olive-green chlorite (strong
magnification needed to be appreciated - see
example). On the surface are numerous round indentations,
some
partially filled with iron oxide. These were probably caused by the
chlorite balls that were initially on the outside, and only partially
embedded in it, but have since eroded away, prior to the specimen
being mined.
The lower end is milky, and has some natural
pressure marks. Two very small nicks on the termination point.
