This specimen features a single quartz prism with a very sharp tip and three distinct faces at the termination end. The crystal displays a fairly triangular shape, with alternating wide and thin prism faces. The core of the crystal has a subtle mauve hue, adding a touch of colour to its otherwise clear appearance. The prism is coated in a thin druse of micro-quartz crystals, offering a fascinating glimpse into the mineral’s unique growth process.

The specimen was collected during a trip to a locality known as Gringo Gulch, near Patagonia, Arizona.
