I bought this directly from famous mathematician and world class mineral collector Steve Smale. It had been in his collection for over 20 years, and exhibits the kind of contrast and aesthetics he likes. the white and black elements work well together. No damage besides the small nub of Wolframite on the opposite side of the quartz crystal (also covered in apatites).
