Description

What a beauty!
Elongated quartz, variety Prasem, grows in perfect harmony from a matrix of fibrous Hedenbergite and is accompanied by several Hematite aggregates, variety Eisenrose.
Even though one of the larger crystals shows a small chipping at the top, barely visible to the naked eye, this is almost certainly one of the better finds from this well-known deposit.
Unfortunately, today it is well guarded and closed to collectors, so that further finds are not to be expected.

The stated weight includes the acrylic base.
