GEMMIER In PERSON! A single gemmy, very sharp crystal to 2.7 cm on edge surmounts a crystallized quartz matrix, here. This is an exquisite display specimen and it features unusual ISOLATION of the crystal - most from this find are in aggregate clusters. The irregularity that you seem to see atop is, in fact, simply secondary crystallization adding a few small, gemmy, bright crystals as an accenting fan behind the larger one. In person, it is very much more dramatic, I would say.
