We've all seen a zillion Quartz specimens from Peru, but when was the last time that you've seen a Peruvian Quartz specimen that was included by another mineral? Personally, this is a first for me. Atop the bigger Quartz crystals are dozens of smaller Quartz crystals strewn about in a jackstraw-like heap.
