Lot includes three quartz crystal specimens. Crystals are individual. 1) Prismatic clear crystal (approx. 2.25x0.75x1.25"), tabular, very slight iron staining, clear at top, turning milky at base, shows negative growth imprint and stepped striations, few daughter crystals; 2) Prismatic clear crystal (approx. 2.75x1.5"), rhombohedral, very slight iron staining but crystal is slightly citrine, negative growth, stepped striations showing slight dissolution, with few sprouts and daughter crystals, iridescence patches, slight chip at tip; 3) Beautiful prismatic clear crystal cluster (approx. 4.5x2.25x2.5"), showing tabular and rhombohedral prismatic crystals, most clear but some tips milky, radial crystal growth at one end, shows split growth and twinning, and daughter crystals. This a beautiful example of sprouting, in which a change of conditions causes nucleation of new crystal growth on existing crystal lattices. Natural growth lines evident on all facets.
