Quartz with fuchsite. It was discovered in the year 2009 by a prospector who was looking for aquamarine, and discovered a cavity stuffed with this quartz druze with fuchsite and sometimes with rutile. In this specimen you can observe a small amount of reddish rutile, located to the right of the center of the specimen.
