Description

This is rare faden quartz from Nil-St Vincent, an historical locality in Belgium. The specimen is a classical flattened with some iron hydroxides at the surface with a faden thread. A floater piece and in very good condition.

It is really hard to see if not in museums, cause the Nil-St Vincent quarry was active since the 1890’s and closed and inaccessible since mid 1950’s. This is a good opportunity for collectors of historical specimens. Ex. Georges Vanacker* Museum specimen.

*Vanackerite (from Tsumeb) is named after him.
