Quartz with banded agate shell

A Drakensberg range special, a quartz cluster on a shell of banded agate consisting of slightly milky (and white) to clear terminations. Originating from what was the lava flows that covered the Drakensberg and upper Kwa-Zulu Natal landscape. Formed due to the pockets and air bubbles that were created between the layer of sand stone and what was then cooling down lava, with a variety of minerals causing amethyst, smokey quartz, citrine, and many other quartz and agate varieties of all shapes, colors and sizes to be formed.
