This is a beautiful cluster of clear quartz crystals on a carpet of green pistacite, also known as epidote. The epidote underneath are clearly visible through the quartz. 

Pistacite is a historical term once commonly used to describe a green variety of epidote, named for its pistachio-like color. While the term is still recognized among collectors and in older literature, it has largely been replaced in modern mineralogy by the more general name green epidote.

Pistacite (green epidote) is often associated with growth, release, and emotional healing. Some believe it helps clear negative energy and encourages letting go of patterns or emotions that no longer serve you. It’s thought to support personal transformation by boosting a sense of hope and forward movement, especially during times of change or recovery.

This large specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Ulexite, also known as "TV rock" due to its unique optical properties, is a mineral that belongs to the borate mineral group. Its most distinctive characteristic is its natural fiber optic behavior, which allows it to transmit light along its crystal structure's long axis. When placed over an image or text, ulexite can create a captivating effect resembling a projection or reflection. This property has led to its popular moniker, as it evokes the appearance of a television screen. Ulexite is primarily composed of boron, sodium, calcium, and oxygen, and its crystals are often found in sedimentary environments, typically forming in arid regions where evaporation and concentration of boron-rich solutions occur.

Ulexite is often associated with enhancing one's intuition, psychic abilities, and inner vision. It is believed to act as a conduit for receiving insights from higher realms and promoting clarity of thought. Ulexite is thought to stimulate the third eye and crown chakras, facilitating a stronger connection to higher consciousness and spiritual realms. Devotees of ulexite also believe that its gentle energy can help individuals access hidden truths and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
