| Description |
A very fine specimen of halloysite included "mango" quartz, displaying beautiful brilliant creamy yellow inclusions in approximately six larger individual quartz points that terminate in unusual multi-faceted tips which are common to this occurrence. These larger points sprout dramatically from a complex and relatively damage free body matrix of hundreds of small, high clarity quartz needles in a disorganized haystack growth pattern, which exhibit occasional right-angled Japan law twinning habit. |
