A polished quartz crystal showing off internal positive casts of quartz crystals, seemingly hollow and yet with their shape preserved somehow in the overlaying quartz that enclosed them. Bizarre example of odd quartz crystallization, caught in the act! From the Cliff Awald Collection(he wrote a pamphlet about inclusions in quartz in the mid-1950s for the Buffalo Museum of Science).
