These bizarre quartzes, from a single find in China a few years back, have all but disappeared from the market - and this is one of the finest I have seen. The milky crystals look like rockets or comets, connected with tiny stalks to a thin "base." The natural process that forms these remains a mystery -- but they are certainly unique and wonderful quartz specimens. 6.0 x 3.6 x 2.4 cmThis Photo was Mindat.org Photo of the Day - 11th Oct 2007
