A fine cluster of three sharp, intergrown quartz crystals from Dal'negorsk, Russia. These lightly frosted, damage-free, translucent crystals look rose-red, when light is shown on the front of the specimen, but are a more orangey hue, when backlit. Two of the spires are preferentially coated with drusy quartz on their backsides. Very uncommon in this size, quality and color from Dal'negorsk.
