Russian quartz chrystal + JXR amethyst

There is something shiny, almost rainbow-like inside the quartz, I wonder if it is mica or just the growth pattern. It did not photograph well.

It's likely to be light reflecting off internal fractures.

I think it's pretty -- the translucent part looks like water.

LOL, thank you! Actually it's now nearly 3 years (200... with any luck I'll get my final results next week!
