Description

Well most of you must have noticed that I have listed and sold about a dozen of those twins here on e-rocks. Please do not think that these are common. I happened to buy about half of everything that has been found in this locality and I am now left with a few pieces. They also were quite popular in the Munich show. Here is fine piece with an imperfection at the base as seen but this was the point of extraction from the quartz matrix it grew on, otherwise undamaged!! Good size for the find too as the vast majority of the twins from there were below 2cm.
