Very unusual specimen that starts with a double-terminated Quartz crystal. The Quartz is a smokey color that has been overgrown with an opaque white Quartz - one end has the internal smokey Quartz sticking out, and the other termination is white but slightly cavernous. Sticking out one side of the Quartz is a terminated Tourmaline crystal. Attached are strange, double-terminated purple Apatite crystals reaching 1.6cm long, with a purple core and a lighter cat's-eye at each termination.
