This specimen is very hard to photograph. In person, it is really fascinating and actually rather pretty. It is a very large quartz crystal that has been naturally etched by corrosive solutions running through the pocket in which it formed. All the faces are natural, so it is a floater. Some of them are jagged; others look smooth and almost "stream-rolled." There are strange euhedral pits in some of the sides as well. The interior is very gemmy and this adds to the visual allure - the photo with the crystal in the hand is the best for showing some of the pretty and unusual character of this specimen.
