Description

Euhedral undamaged crystal of quartz with an uncommon "pseudocubic" habit, with the typical pinkish colour. The prism faces are scarcely developed, and one rhombohedron is clearly dominant, so it looks like a cube from numerous angles. Choice New Mexican specimen.

Acquired in 1988, Ex Jan Sibtsen #1919.
