Almost always found as loose singles, these Euclase have a characteristic blue stripe running up the center. I bought this at the Tucson show in the 1990s and have not seen another like it. Two Euclase crystals 1.5cm long in a cluster of Quartz crystals. The Quartz have hair-like, golden inclusions of what is possibly Rutile.
