QUARTZ CRYSTALS EPIDOTE
A beautifully sparkly Quartz Cluster with green Epidote crystals growing on (and in) it! Many of the quartz crystals are elestials, which gives this piece many interesting angles. A lovely cluster that looks slightly amethyst-y which could also be hematite or other inclusions in the quartz. A great specimen with good terminations and no matrix.
