This skeletal quartz specimen appears to be a complete floater. It is doubly terminated, lustrous, translucent, and colorless. In form and look, it is eerily sculptural! I particularly like the hopper growth at the upper termination, where the crystal edges have grown at a much faster rate than the crystal faces in the center. Impressive overall when you hold it in hand, it is not "just another quartz".
