Description

That'sa really fine quartz piece from a locality you normally don't expect it from! The piece is a cluster of elongated Tessin habit quartz crystals interconnected in a parallel direction! They look like building one close to the other! The crystals have great patterns on the prism! One of them has some cleaved hubnerite on it! The crystals are in very good condition and the two of them are doubly terminated. Unusual piece!
