Description

Beautiful arrangement of two well terminated quartz crystals partly covered with dolomite crystals.

Unexpected for the region only a few pieces of this appeared a short time ago and the locality wasn't open for long. No chance to get new finds as the place is defunct already.

The big rock crystal has an almost invisible tick at the tip. Everything else is perfect.
