Single Crystal

Miniature (4.5-7 cm)

6.5 × 1.6 × 1.1 cm
Description

The crystal is developed as floater, it is double terminated and all faces are very glossy. In the center of this water-clear crystal you can see a dark phantom, below the end-points dark grey zonings. And there are some moving bubbles in the center above the phantom. A very uncommom, attractive enhydro quartz! Unfortunately I was not able to figure out more about the locality - only Tibet.
