A striking, incredibly complex and interesting floater compound crystal of quartz from Pakistan. It is frankly quite difficult to describe what is going on here from a crystallographic perspective, because there is so MUCH going on. Some of the sub-crystals have conventional terminations, and others have unusual chisel-shaped ones more reminiscent of Baryte. The whole thing is very gemmy, and has glassy luster as well, so it is really pretty to look at in addition to being a truly unusual quartz specimen. If you are into crystallography, you could spend weeks with this specimen without getting bored.
