Asterated inclusion in quartz

Here's something very interesting - a "star" in quartz I found in Washington!
We currently believe that this is gypsum/anhydrite.

Nice find, Eric. Very clean crystal and inclusion. The inclusion is clear enough to possibly get a visual identification.
Interesting, and good, guess on the gypsum/anhydrite. I have found plenty of examples of quartz psuedomorphs after anhydrite searching the net but have not seen any examples of quartz with anhydrite inclusions. Will have to keep searching.
Thanks for the pic!
