Natural Drusy Mineral Specimen

This specimen is a natural formation consisting of numerous small crystalline structures growing on a darker, more earthy base rock. The crystals are colorless to milky white, forming a layer approximately 1-2 cm thick over a substantial piece of the host rock. The crystal formation exhibits a granular or drusy appearance, with individual crystal points being small and densely packed. The underlying base rock appears to be a brownish-purple, somewhat consolidated material with a rough, uneven surface. There are some areas on the surface of the crystals that show discoloration, potentially from minerals in the host rock or surface dirt. The overall shape of the specimen is irregular, consistent with a naturally occurring piece. The piece fits comfortably within the palm of a hand, suggesting a size of roughly 8-10 cm in its longest dimension. No apparent manufacturing details, maker's marks, or signatures are visible, indicating its likely origin as a natural mineral sample. While some minor surface inclusions and potential dirt are present, the overall condition appears stable.
