A very unusual specimen of sparkly quartz which has pseudomorphed the underlying calcite crystals! Some little orangey calcites have been lifted up and carried with the top of the crystals as they grew and are now sideways on the tips of the quartz-covered calcites. This is very unusual stuff for the locality, and certainly very pretty too!
