Item Description

A cool two-generation quartz with calcite from this now-famous locale. The sculpturally intergrown, terminated glassy translucent quartz crystals have a striking secondary overgrowth of sparkly stepped-growth drusy calcite. The fluorescent pink paper calcite crystals attached to the quartz are super accessories. Complete all-around, the upper portions of the major crystals are pristine and there's only a gentle bruise to the tip of a secondary crystal. The basal periphery wear reveals the earlier generation quartz crystals. A striking and most unusual 360-degree quartz from Huanggang. The piece has multiple fine display views.
