Some of the crystals are partly coated with a sand-like covering, possibly sandstone. The back of the specimen is covered with sandstone and hundreds of very minute quartz crystals, which gives it a glittering effect in light (image bottom left. The main crystal's termination has a few nicks, and a few of the minor crystals have damage to them. Despite the bit of damage, it is still a lovely specimen, with good lustre.
