Quartz coated with azurite, malachite, and limonite, possibly other copper minerals from M’Cissi, Morocco. This is a Christmas present to myself and my jaw dropped when I opened the box. I’m going to call it “moldy quartz.”3yr ⋅ burndownthedisco1 ⋅ r/rockhounds

Stone cold stunner of a quartz cluster from Baluchistan, Pakistan. This thing has so many points coming off of it that it’s impossible to get a full picture of it that really captures all its complexity and beauty. Love it.

Nice little amethyst scepter from Zambia. I refuse to call it “Super 7” but that’s how people try to market it. It’s an elegant little crystal, no more, no less. The photo is not edited and has no filter.3yr ⋅ burndownthedisco1 ⋅ r/rockhounds
