A spiky mass of elongated and tapered red/orange colored Quartz crystals partially covered with a secondary growth of Quartz crystals. The orange crystals are translucent and are referred to as " Red Quartz ". Many of the terminations of these crystals differ in color and range from white to various shades of gray with a hint of green in a few cases. The secondary growth Quartz crystals are generally double terminated and range in color from clear to white to dark gray (due to some unidentified inclusion).

Condition: Good

Flaws: There are a dozen or so incomplete crystals with no terminations which are not very noticeable because the color of the Quartz is the same in the interior of crystals as on the surface.
