Item Description

A really cool and unusual specimen from the classic San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado. This piece features a beautiful, well-formed "cast" of lustrous, sparkling Quartz crystals after tabular crystals of Anhydrite. If you're a Quartz collector, maybe you don't have one of these in your collection from Ouray. It certainly had a beautiful appearance. The piece was collected by Robert Stoufer and C. Johnson.
