Very nice quartz crystal, I think the small spheres inside are chlorite?

Thanks Tobi! Many believe that they are a member of the chlorite group. I don't know if they have been analyzed.

This locality was unknown to me, but as a quartz fan I love that specimen, it has a kind of alpine character. Nice one!

Thanks Tobi! The locality is well known in the US. I think there have been some exceptional finds of the quartz in the past.
