This is a superb miniature of faden quartz - with the crystals having grown in parallel, and the frosty faden line clearly visible running through their centers. There is just the one contact on the end where the cluster was attached - all the other edge terminations are sharp and perfect (there is a euhedral natural contact in one place where one of the crystals grew against another). An exquisite example of this mysterious quartz phenomenon. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
