Quartz ( epimorph cast after Anhydrite? ) (Ref: Q247)

Tentadora Mine, Julcani District, Huancavelica District, Angaraes Privince, Peru
126mm x 74mm x 68mm
minID: MFF-KYT
$299
Lustrous, clear to white Quartz points to 19 mm long completely encased an Anhydrite? crystal which is now dissolved, leaving behind a nice epimorph cast. Small flecks of sulfide, likely Chalcopytite are included in the Quartz faces. Looks like one of those Frank Herbert Dune sand worms to me! Damage free.
