Large angular and pointed formations create a dramatic layered display, with smaller crystals nestled between them. The contrasting front and rustic mineralized matrix on the reverse make this an intriguing addition to any mineral collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecimen Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReported origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mexico; precise state, mine and collecting location not documented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.0 oz (approximately 227 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intergrown clear-to-translucent smoky green-gray, pale champagne and peach-pink crystals with rust-brown matrix staining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePossible minerals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Some well-developed crystal faces appear quartz-like, while other angular pale peach growths are calcite-like.
