Description

Outsatanding example of highly lustrous and water-clear quartz crystal exhibiting the super rare seen cumberland habitus, from China. This weird crystallisation of quartz is not often seen in general and crystals in this size (over 1cm) are extremely rare and highly sought after. Best about this specimen is that the quartz is super esthetically placed on top of also well crystallised roses of hematite.
