A jumbled mass of elongated Quartz crystals pointing in various directions. The interior of the Quartz crystals is a clear, light smoky gray/tan color. On many of the crystals, there is a thin, outer layer colored a light gray and much pockmarked. Several of the crystals do not have this outer layer and the light smoky color can be seen. There are small Brookite crystals scattered across the surface of many of the Quartz crystals. The Brookite crystals are black in color and have a high, submetallic luster. Some of the pockmarking in the gray colored outer layers appear to be casts after Brookite crystals which are now missing.

Condition: Fairly Good

Flaws: Several of the Quartz crystals are incomplete and there is one large crystal which snapped at its base which mear the middle of the specimen.
