Description

quartz pseudomorph after calcite on quartz stalactite. This unusual stalactitic specimen of quartz was formed around slender threads of another mineral, resulting in a very pleasing sculptural configuration. At the top, quartz has replaced a scalenohedral calcite crystal. The quartz is lustrous, translucent, with a colorless sculptural configuration. The quartz is white to gray color. Odd, yet beautiful! Not chalcedony in my opinion but quartz. From 2006.
