Description

This is a magnificent example of Greek prasem quartz, among the top 2 pieces that I have ever handled from the locality. It hosts dozens of green prasem quartz crystals on contrasting whitish hedenbergite. As a bonus, pseudomorphs of magnetite after roses of hematite are scattered on the hedenbergite. They are strongly magnetic. The condition is excellent for such a big specimen with a few missing/broken crystals that are very hard to find. As with all specimens from this fixed-price page, there is a video of this specimen available so please contact me to send you the link.
