Unidentified Raw Crystal Specimen

This item appears to be a raw, unpolished crystal formation, possibly a form of quartz or a feldspar mineral, given its multifaceted, somewhat granular texture and earthy tones. The primary color is a brownish-yellow to light amber, with areas exhibiting a slightly pinkish or reddish-brown tint, particularly along fractured surfaces. The crystal formation is irregular, showing evidence of natural cleavage planes and fracture, rather than distinct crystal faces, which suggests it is a piece of a larger formation or an unhedral crystal. One prominent flat surface, likely a cleavage plane or a naturally smooth side, displays a more uniform yellowish-brown hue with subtle internal striations or growth marks. Other surfaces are rougher, sparkling subtly in the light due to many small crystalline facets. The overall shape is an elongated, wedge-like form, tapering towards one end. There are no clear indications of manufacturing marks, signatures, or specific carvings, suggesting it is a natural specimen. The condition appears to be natural, showing no signs of artificial wear, chips, or repairs; any 'damage' would be considered part of its natural formation or geological process. The quality is indicative of a common mineral specimen, not necessarily gem-grade, but suitable for collectors or educational purposes. Its estimated age is geological.
