Description

On a quartz crystal, covered with hundreds of small lustrous hematite crystals, several other clear quartz crystals have grown at it´s edges and in the center of the hexagonal pyramidal termination. This kind of special crystal growth and appearance was called “rocket quartz” by the local collectors. The small chip at the top hardly influences the aesthetic overall appearance of this rare and interesting specimen. Comes with a Peter Lyckberg label.
