Very glassy, gem-like, colorless apophyllite crystals form a remarkable and exquisite stalactite. The gemmy, pyramidal crystals are water-clear to translucent, and some are doubly terminated, including the largest compound crystal. The crystals project in all directions, adding to the visual appeal of this striking sculpture.

Except for some peripheral wear at the base, this piece is flawless all around. This is an excellent and unusual specimen with quartz.
