A superb floater cluster of quartz included by hematite smoke and chlorite! The crystals are covered partially by some carbonate possibly and it could be removed!The luster is higher on the terminations and the inclusions are more obvious on the larger crystals! The result is obvious and the piece shows well all over, with some tips missing on the bottom only.
