Description

Short prismatic quartz crystal of black colour and good lustre. It present a Dauphiné habit with one rhombohedral face clearly dominant, which is typical for this locality. It is quite gemmy with remarkable multi-layered internal phantoms. This obscure Norwegian locality is not well-known yet and must be small because it has produced a limited quantity of specimens.

Collected by J.Sibtsen in 1975-77. Ex Jan Sibtsen #2229.
