These rare beauties are very special, as this root crystal layer consists of pure crystalline Quartz, and is the first layer that grew from the host rock Granite matrix. A noticeable white chevron layer transitions the clear Quartz to a beautiful purple amethyst (Quartz irradiated with iron). Some specimens feature ametrine or prasiolite sections.

Banded layers of phantom chevrons stacked upon each other through ferromagnetic hydrothermal processes, solidifying 23+ minerals into a beautiful frozen cymatics displayed in bands of purple, clear, white, green, orange, and red, with a variety of iridescent metallic inclusions.

As the Red Cap Terminated Points are cleaved apart from the main cluster, the “Dragon Teeth layer cleaves into shards, releasing sharp “Dragon Teeth” raw wands that can cut like a knife.
