A surreal shard-like quartz with amethyst protrusions, smoky body, and elegant form. Also, the locallity is interesting. We are pretty sure the label is from the 1800s but beyond that, cannot pin down the handwriting or even the quarry name (which could be literally some local pit, never known otherwise to us). A fine piece of course, regardless of locale, but the locality is a bonus for a Pennsylvania collector!
