AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Quartz specimen with halloysite inclusions, commercially known as 'Cuarzo Mango.' It presents as a distinguished crystallographic triplet, with three vitreous-transparent crystals. The aesthetic appeal is based on the intense chromatic contrast generated by the halloysite inclusions, producing an apical zoning of golden yellow color. From a crystallographic perspective, the specimen is of great interest, as it exhibits atypical terminations and unique morphological modifications that deviate from the canonical prismatic habit of quartz. A piece of high aesthetic value and in pristine condition.
