This matrix cluster of quartz crystals features three generations of growth. The first was that of milky quartz which was later overgrown by glassy and gemmy terminations which also had a dusting of goethite, giving all the crystals a smoky appearance. A third generation of hematite included quartz, with a light rose color, covered the lower 2/3 of the crystals. Each of the crystals, to 3.5 cm in length, exhibits magnificent phantoms created by the tips of the original milky cores. In all, this is a subtly aesthetic crystal group, and among my personal favorites.
