1503761
location:
Yaogangxian Mine, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
description:
Attractive combination piece with a large milky glassy translucent quartz crystal, this forming an 11.0 x 9.0 x 6.0 cm cluster with other smaller crystals, approximately 1/2 of this covered with thin platy colorless crystals of calcite to almost 1.5 cm across. All of the prominent crystals in excellent condition, there is a quartz crystal on what I consider the backside of the piece that is damaged away from the center. Sits nicely by itself for display.
