Description

Very beautiful specimen of spiky orange-red quartz crystals ('eisenkiesel' doesn't seem adequate to me) from the Second Sovietsky mine, found in the late nineties.Several crystals with tip-coating of second generation quartz - the biggest (6.5 cm double-terminated) is completely covered. Several crystal tips broken (almost unavoidable with this delicate material), but still an incredible, aesthetic specimen.
