Description

Super rare gemmy Herkimer-type diamond quartz crystal, from Java (Wanze, Belgium). Typical pieces from this locality range from 3 to 4 cm, but this surpass the 6 cm. It has inclusions of yellow oxides, with the external faces very well developed, and doubly terminated. It is almost a floater, with just a tiny contact to me matrix. It is very good condition, with minor erosions at one edge.

Collected by Claude Pire in 1982-85. Ex Claude Pire collection.
