resembling a sunset over rolling hills

Approx size each coaster has a diameter of 3 2/3" and is 1/3" thick

The front is nearly entirely covered with dozens of blocky small schorl crystals

I would dub these points "witch's fingers" but there is already a variety of quartz called that so I use "witch's manicure" instead

and an off-cream colored one

and this piece—like pyrite—does not seem to

and nicer pieces are even framed for display

It especially highlights structure of the hydroxyapophyllite crystals of this piece

with some more opaque whitish layers visible inside
