This is a mesmerizing, large specimen. Originally, these four crystals, to 12.0 cm in length, had milky cores. A second generation of quartz crystals, exhibiting parallel growth, with good luster and translucence, were colored a lovely orange color by hematite inclusions. Each milky core is covered by hundreds of these smaller quartz crystals, all exceedingly well formed. The true color when lit normally with weak lighting is the more orange hue, though it goes a bit more red in strong incandescents as in the first shot. Superb and REALLY subtly complex in person!
