This unusually shaped cluster of quartz crystals is a complete floater with no visible points of attachment with all three crystals being doubly-terminated. The crystals are generally colorless, glassy and gemmy, with the two smaller crystals having brown hematite inclusions. The largest crystal, 3.3 cm in length, actually has a reddish-brown hematite coating. Its amazing to have all this going on in such a small miniature specimen.
