Description

You are bidding on a small sample with a very aesthetic, large and quite unusual flattened tellurite crystal in a quartz lined vug with another smaller tellurite displaying a totally different habit. This is a beautiful piece and one of the most unusual samples from Japan out of my personal collection. Was accidentally found when trimming a larger piece.
