    "The quartz cluster is fully formed with no broken pieces. The miniscule amount of epidote is not worth mentioning. If you want a nice small quartz cluster, then great, but if you are wanting some visible epidote, don't bother. And this is at or above the locally available retail price for such a piece. Keeping it for the quartz cluster, will look elsewhere for the epidote."
