    An interesting specimen of milky quartz with secondary amethyst overgrowth from Harts Range Northern Territory. The amethyst overgrowth shows some nice purple-saturated tips and even has tourmaline needles throughout it. Overall a great size for the area.

    I acquired this specimen from Patrick Gundersen in December 2016, who self-collected it a few years prior on a digging trip to the Harts Range area.

    Did you know!?
    Harts Range is a very mineral rich area and specimens such as Ruby, Garnet, Beryl, Iolite, Epidote and other semi-precious stones have been found sporadically over the last 20 years.
