Quartz is mined by the ton in Arkansas, but the truly unusual or high-quality crystals from there still get a lot of attention. This one is truly exceptional for its form - very rare from here. It features a typical prismatic, doubly-terminated milky crystal, atop of which is a gemmy crystal of extremely unusual truncated form, so far modified from the common prism that it is difficult to even describe the crystallography.
