These two lovely quartz crystals are too big for a druzy, so better described as small clusters. You can see the larger points on the round piece of white quartz, which has a little rock attached.

The flatter piece is the prettiest in real life. It has another mineral on top of the quartz. I have no idea what it is. It could be a hardened clay. An acid bath might remove it. At the moment our shelves are stocked with malt vinegar!

Good quartz crystals from the Southern Uplands down in Dumfries and Galloway. They glitter under the light. Watch the video!
