Item Description
These sharp, large aragonite crystals have been pseudomorphed by quartz, included by hematite which gives it its reddish-brown tone. So what you have is translucent quartz in the exact form of the prior sharply hexagonal aragonite crystals, having preserved their form perfectly. This is a floater, in excellent condition and form. Ex David Stoudt Collection.
