Glassy and gemmy quartz crystals have been uniformly colored a terra cotta color by hematite inclusions. The crystals are all short prismatic and fairly uniform in size with the largest crystal being only 2.5 cm in length. A large, colorful plate - one of the very largest pristine clusters of this style we have seen, in fact.
