From a small find in Peru in around 2016 or so, this is a beautiful small cabinet sized specimen featuring sparkling white quartz, in unusual bladed shapes. Why? Because the quartz has replaced sharp crystals to 1 cm of anhydrite, casting over and replacing the shapes with fidelity. The result is quartz, of such unusual habit, from a very unique find!
