Cluster of three large Rhodos of an unusual style, different from others I have seen from this locality. The prism faces, and even the bottom, are coated in a thin layer of quartz crystals with the termination faces of the main crystal exposed (and part of one termination face of the samll crystal). The terminations are not cleavages as there are areas on the very edges of the termination faces that also have small amounts of the Quartz crystals.Undamaged and complete. One photo is backlit to show the translucency of the crystals.
