SOLD
A huge, rich specimen from the finds of 2 years ago that mix prismatic crystals of quartz with dense, olive-green crystals of epidote. The quartz crystals here range from clear to mineral-coated, up to 7 cm. This is a large, thin knob that was poking out into the pocket in which it formed, so it is crystallized all around; the contact is only along the bottom.
