Description

What the "Herkimer Diamonds" are for the USA, the "Schaumburger Diamanten" are for Germany: crystal clear, double-terminated quartz crystals of exceptional quality. Not very often you also get smoky crystals like this one. This is a very good spßecimen with a rather large (for the locality) crystal. No damage on the crystal. The little spot is an attachment mark from another crystal.
