Description

A good size, drusy specimen of quartz richly included by hematite. It has a very good lustre, has a second generation of transparent brown-orange quartz overgrowing the red hematite layer and it is in very good condition. I am told that only a handful of such specimens were produced from this huge deposit. Beautiful!.

Acquired in 1990. Ex Jan Sibtsen #554.
