I have mentioned that I am fsatinated by different habits, this Opal (Hyalite) is an example of my favorite habit(s), botryoidal, reniform, mammillary. Freud would probably say it was because I was bottle fed. In addition to the habit, though, is the near water clear transparency. This piece is from the Czech Republic. It measures 1 1/2" x 1" x 1" (2.8cm x 2.5cm x 2.5cm) (Author: Jim Prentiss)
