Going together with item PALA-148 as a set, this is a beautiful cluster of unusually large quartz crystals, richly included with the pink mineral montmorillonite. The White Queen is as well known for this combination, as for its famous morganites. This specimen is a level of magnitude higher than most others, in that it is large, beautiful, and complete. It was sawed down the middle, and each half mounted so they could be displayed to show the inclusions and the form to maximal visual effect. The reverse sides are complete, by the way, showing the outer milky quartz. Each weighs about 7 pounds. This half of the quartz cluster has several (old) repairs with old glue. It can be redone more cleanly if desired but as is, makes a fine display piece anyhow
