 This is a very aesthetic and lustrous milky quartz group from the famous Ouray Fault which is considered one of the world's best milky quartz localities. The KD Pocket is one of the best pockets that was found at that locality and has been discussed in Rocks & Minerals magazine. These quartz pockets are found in the Leadville limestone fm. These specimens are collected at high elevations where the freeze/thaw cycle can cause some slight chipping.
