Sparkling, drusy white quartz pseudomorphs after pointed scalenohedral calcite, clustered into a glittering mass with a tail-like extension of chalcedony, from Nashik.

Quartz has replaced the original calcite crystals while keeping their shape, and the chalcedony tail gives the piece an unusual silhouette. Specimens like this are rarely on the market, and this one is three-dimensional and eye-catching.

A heavy large-cabinet piece at 5.5 lb.
