QUARTZ CLUSTER WITH RED HAUSMANNITE
China
A dramatic forest of good-sized quartz crystal points, this impressive natural sculpture makes for a striking and unusual display piece, the clear quartz rods attractively mottled with black manganese inclusions but more dramatically offset by the blushing red presence of manganese oxide hasmannite, approximately 13 x 13 x 9 1/4 inches overall, and weighing 26.5 lb.
