*SUPER ULTRA RARE * *Quartz Crystal Cluster * 100% Natural CALCITE "SHELLS" & INCLUSIONS This is a Mega Shiny Quartz crystal cluster! This is one of the most rare pieces Diamond Hill has to offer! I just recently opened a pocket with these really shiny clusters! I hit one small section with some SUPER RARE formations. This piece has it all. This piece has had a second silica stage which recovered the piece with a thin layer of silica and then it cooled down rapidly forming small drusy & making the existing crytals twice as shiny! At this time Calcite crystals were present, getting covered also with the silica. Then over a long period the calcite decayed, leaving these "shells". Some people call them pseudomorphs, but actually the Calcite crystals have been covered with tiny drusy quartz, then over time dizzolved making it like a shell with encrusted drusy! I am not sure if t little if any actual calcite present in these shells. I have no UV at the moment to test. T are also many numerous "shells" included inside of about a third of the crystals!(see pics)! Has some irridescents & yellow/golden aura color too! The black spots are thick maganese coatings! T is soo much more going on with this specimen! Crystals in Excellent terminated condition! Would make a great display piece! Quartz crystals are renowned for their special healing
