Rough Mineral Specimen

The item is a mineral specimen, likely a type of quartz or similar silicate mineral. It is roughly rectangular and appears to be held in a person's hand for scale, suggesting it is a moderate size, likely several inches in its largest dimension. The material is predominantly a cloudy, off-white to translucent color with significant areas of reddish-brown and darker green or black inclusions and surface staining. The surface is uneven and crystalline, with observable facets and rough fracture points. There are no discernable manufacturing marks, stamps, or signatures as this is a natural specimen. The reddish-brown material appears to be iron staining or possibly a different mineral matrix. The darker inclusions could be other minerals or organic material. The condition appears to be as found in nature, with no obvious signs of polishing, cutting, or artificial alteration. The edges and surfaces exhibit a natural, unworked texture. Its age is geological. The raw, unrefined nature of the piece indicates it is presented as found, potentially as part of a mineral collection or for study.
