A flower like Quartz specimen with radiating crystals which range from white to a medium purple Amethyst color. Many of the crystals are duble terminated. In places the specimen is quite thin and even has two holes. There are crudely formed, cream colored Calcite crystals on the bottom and an aggregate of lighter colored, roughly cubic crystals extending outward from one side. On the botton of the specimen, there are numerous casts as well as green to blue colored Celandite which has formed around an unidentifed reddish brown material.

Condition: Good

Flaws: About 20% of the flower is missing (see bottom right of specimen in the first photo). The rest of the specimen is in excellent collection.
