An exquisite brown druzy quartz stalactite cluster. The lower half of the geode is preserved, with the upper part removed to reveal the rare creation in its interior formed of many stalactites, resembling an otherworldly landscape. This piece is very special due to its uncommon brown colour, overlaid with a double layer of white quartz causing an intense sparkle. Some of the stalactites have been polished on the top to expose the cross-sectional nature. The outer layer is polished and reveals a magical combination of colours due to the green celadonite, brown agate and white quartz. It is a very decorative piece and is displayed on a custom metal stand. It is very rare to find a piece with so many complete stalactites and such an unusual colour. The effect is breath-taking, making the colours within the piece vibrantly sparkle in the light, and giving it a beautifully mesmerising quality.
