The two-toned effect of the quartz crystals in this cluster is aesthetic and unusual. Originally, the crystals had a milky core and a gemmy termination. A later coating of hematite has given the stems a light tan color while the terminations are still gemmy. The longest crystal is 7.5 cm and at the interface of the stem and termination is a superb phantom!
