RNa7 Quartz pseudomorphs of apophyllite,
Summer Storm Claim, Custer County, Idaho. This is second largest specimen
ever recovered from the Summer Storm Claim. 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 up to just over 2.5cm 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 and enveloping larger pseudomorph crystals. This specimen has a
wide open cupped shape which is minorly accented and offset by subtle rising
groups of crystals attractively. Measures 36 x 26.5 x 20cm. $600.00
