A fine single, floater quartz prism from Arkansas, with a small crystal growing out of its side. One of the two terminations grew against something, so there is a natural contact at that end. Silky luster, with micro-striations. The crystal looks a bit murky in the photos because the quartz is picking up reflections from two of the faces that have natural etching. In person, it has glassy transparency. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
