There is a small slab of quartz which was cut from a chunk broken off a vein in the Superstitions which is on sale now on EBAY.

Links to the story of when it was found are included in the description. In short, the guy who collected it was unable to remember or re-find the location. Looks like it would make a nice pendant if cut and polished. You'd want to be sure to pan your polisher tray when you're finished though. Wink

Yeah, there was a flurry of bids at the last minute. I was thinking a round pendant with matching dangly earrings although I'd have to find some with lapidary skills to cut and clean it up.
