This highly lustrous cluster is crystalized almost entirely around the piece, except for one small point of contact under the siderite cluster. The siderite gives a wonderful contrast to the quartz with its muted grey and brown color, and rhombohedral shape. There is one small spot of damage on the main termination, shown in the last photo.
