Xanthi, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece

Cabinet (10-18 cm)

12.1 × 7 × 3.9 cm
Description

The dark brown matrix is covered with countless tiny quartz crystals and high-lighted with two large (and a few smaller) "japanes-law" twins. These twins are very rare in general and even more special for Xanthi. Should be high valued for this rare habit as well for the locality.  No significant damages to report.
