In this specimen, the formations are surrounded by later quartz and amethyst crystal growth, combining polished patterned areas with natural sparkling druzy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePolished and natural\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front surface has been polished to reveal the internal stalactite patterns, while natural cavities and druzy formations have been preserved.
