Quartz Crystal Group with Unusual Termination Facets - NBB 194

Measurements:  49 x 42 x 41 mm

Description:  An interesting group of quartz crystals with the terminations having a touch of smoky colouring, and a small piece of matrix attached. 

The largest crystal has two very small crystals sitting on two of its termination facets. The second-largest crystal is a semi-sceptre, while some of the small crystals tend to be fancy quartz. Some faces have a thin coating of (?)chalcedony.

The larger crystals have only a few minute nicks to their terminations, while the largest crystal has a long contact mark to one of its sides. Some of the small crystals have nicks.

The specimen displays well on a flat surface, all-round.
