Description
A British Classic! This is a nice vug of glassy quartz terminations that have formed on a matrix of botryoidal hematite as imprinted on the underside and back of the specimen. The quart crystals have, in turn, have sharp, bladed, sparkling crystals of hematite formed on them and then some more tiny sparkling quartz crystals in some places. Displays very well!
