Beautiful pseudomorph of quartz after what once was a Danburite with calcite inclusions.

Some similar pieces came out of the Charcas mine in San Luis Potosí but this is one is one of the best that I've seen. Beautiful contrast of the calcites and the way they came out of the main piece and interlock between them, the cleanliness of the white in the danburite section, the luster and how it sparkles makes this piece one of a kind.

Also it's important to mention that it's not chipped as many of the other that came out.
