AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A remarkable specimen from the early 2000's coming out of the lower part of La Cabaña, where most of the great specimens this locality is famous for came from. The piece itself is a string of tightly intergrown cubes coating a rock fragment that is fully crystallized on the back with microcrystalline quartz. No damage.
