This past weekend I found a beautiful crystal in Raleigh, NC. I am privileged to live in
an area where alpine-type fissures can be found and excavated.

Thanks Felix. I don't find crystals like this very often, in fact I wonder if I'll ever find one this good again. I don't know how the bulldozer didn't crush it or damage it in anyway.
