This "Yellow Quartz" specimen has a truly spectacular display that is almost fully covered in dense sprays of elongated, gemmy Quartz crystals, most of which are accented with bright yellow Halloysite inclusions throughout the terminations. This specimen comes from a find of the late 2010s and early 2020s that produced the only find of this fabulous combination, and in remarkable quality. Most of the Halloysite inclusions occur as soft, thread-like, fibrous crystals. Some of the largest crystals in the specimen, reaching up to 10.3 centimeters, are doubly-terminated and presented at the top and forefront of the specimen. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
