Description

Fantastic cluster of several quartz crystals featuring perfect shaped phantoms of blood red hematite inclusions all threw the specimen. The tips of the phantoms show a more purple colour while the lower part of them is kept in red. This excellent piece is from a recent new discovery at this site in India. The crystals are mostly in a really good condition, only some isolated tips are a little bit chipped which almost all of the specimens show from this find.
