Description

This quartz comes from an alpine find at the Hohe Tauern in Carinthia. The crystal is doubly terminated with a thicker and a thinner termination. The quartz crystal is clear with a few green chlorite inclusions. The longitudinal faces are high gloss with good stripes an partialy covered with bright mica. This gives the crystal a frosty character. Additionally, two other doubly terminated crystals have grown on the crystal. An alpine quartz with respectable size!
