RNa6 Quartz pseudomorph of apophyllite, Summer Storm Claim, Custer County, Idaho. The Summer Storm claim is the World's premier locality for Quartz after Apophyllite pseudomorphs, and this is one of the claim's larger specimens. The Quartz has a soft, almost two-toned color, grading from a white to a deeper, more grayish colored hue in sharp pseudomorphic replacements. This replacement is complete externally for the majority of the specimen's crystals. A smaller percentage of individuals display cavernous, incomplete terminations which intriguingly revealing Quartz and Calcite interiors. Crystals range exceptionally up to 3/4's of an inch wide and up to approximately 1 inch long and have a somewhat drusy texture which can catch and flash in the light. Minute sugary Quartz aggregates accent the specimen, forming bright little white colored bursts between larger pseudomorph crystals. This specimen has a flattish feel which is accented and offset by subtle rising groups of crystals attractively. As an additional comment, this specimen has a superficial resemblance to specimen # RNa1. Measures 30 x 21.25 x 12.5cm. $575.00
