AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent specimen of quartz with halloysite inclusions, commercially known as 'Mango Quartz.' The specimen is structured as a polycrystalline aggregate, with a well-defined group of four individuals and two dominant crystallization axes. The crystals exhibit an intense vitreous luster and good transparency. The apical color zoning phenomenon is outstanding, concentrating a deep yellow tone at the terminations, which provides excellent compositional harmony. Crystallographically, it is a highly valuable piece due to the atypical morphological modifications present at the terminations, deviating from the canonical quartz habit.
