Quartz with Chlorite inclusions

Item Description

Interesting Quartz cluster exhibiting multiple crystal habits, some with perferenintal green Chlorite inclusions in the terminations.The large Quartz crystal laying horizontal across the back measures 12.3 cm long. The crystals are well formed, translucent, clear to whitish-gray prismatic Quartz crystals intermixed with similar flattened and tapered Quartz crystals. Some with a trigonal habit and a few smaller ones that look to be almost a Tessin habit. A couple of the terminations are even slightly "hoppered". The main center cluster is in good condition with the larger crystals at the base and back having broken ends. It is amazing to think how one specimen can develop multiple styles and habits! A very architectural and visually interesting Quartz specimen. Ex. Kurt Hefendehl collection.
