Description

This piece is so fine, because it shows how a common thing can be so special! This elongated crystal, with striations and great luster, is covered in areas with quartz, calcite and galena!The luster is great everywhere and the aesthetics fantastic, with the top of the termination covered by a quartz fan!It's terminated on all areas, excpet for a conchoidal scratch along one edge. It could easily be a floater, but this edge can also be a contact,but it can be out of display easily!
