Description

A very unusual quartz for Campiglia Marittima, which typically is either more elongated and covered with a thin white crust or covered with dark oxides. Specifically, this is a white quartz with hyaline tips.

The flute-like termination is particularly evident on the main crystal, while other crystals display a more classic pyramidal termination. The apex of the main crystal has a tiny contact which however does not distract from its aesthetic display. The only matrix left on the specimen is a minor trace of gossan across the cluster.
I have only seen it in three specimens so far, I would consider this habitus considerably rare for the locality!
