Quartz
Huanggangliang Iron Mine, Kèshíkèténg Qí, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia A.R., China

101 x 82 x 76 mm

This is an excellent specimen with intergrown crystals of sceptered Quartz to 67 mm long, with well developed, dipyramidal heads.  The Quartz are translucent, and have sharp faces and edges, and the caps of many are preferentially frosted.  Small dipyramidal Quartz have grown on the the shafts of the Quartz.  Minor Arsenopyrite crystals accent the specimen.  Only very minor chipping is present on a few of the Quartz. (Author: GneissWare)
