Quartz
Five Islands, Colchester Co., Nova Scotia, Canada
2.2 x 2.2 x 1.5 cm
At first glance, I thought this was a soft pink manganoan calcite specimen, but it actually is an interesting and unique piece of bi-pyramidal quartz crystals. The crystals have sharp, well-formed faces, and a lovely pastel pink hue, which is rarely seen in quartz. The piece comes with a label from Frank and Wendy Melanson.
