This specimen is one of the BEST for its size that I have seen from the find of bizarre etched quartzes at the Shangbao Mine. These quartzes are distinguished by skinny "stems" or tails on their back ends. However, this one actually has a "base" with thin quartzes sticking up on it, and the cluster of large quartz crystals is attached to the base by three of these stems. It is better in person - a really strange and beautiful quartz specimen unlike anything you will see from any other locality. 6 x 6 x 4 cm
