Iron-Coated Chlorite Quartz Cluster on Matrix – Natural Pakistan

This substantial 443g specimen is a masterclass in mineral contrast and natural "etching." The foundation consists of a robust Quartz cluster where the crystals are heavily included with Chlorite, giving them a deep, mossy-green internal character. The exterior of the crystals is naturally coated with a golden-brown to russet Iron-oxide layer, providing a warm, rustic "iron-clad" finish that is highly sought after by collectors of "earthy" mineral habits.

The crystals are situated on their original matrix, preserving the piece exactly as it was found in the pocket. The cluster exhibits a complex, multi-directional growth pattern, with several prominent points emerging from the base. At over 10cm in width, this is a large cabinet specimen that brings a powerful, grounding presence to any display shelf or mineral gallery.
