An outstanding and very distinctive cluster of sharp, gemmy, and lustrous Quartz crystals. The largest is about 3 cm. It is very unusual to find Arkansas Quartz with phantoms (likely manganese), let alone ones that are this well-defined, but when you do, Mt. Ida is the likely source. A terrific specimen, really, and much better in person.
