Description

Old, classic and superb example of green prase quartz on contrasting, whitish, fibrous hedenbergite, associated with black roses of magnetite after hematite! I bought it from a German collector in 2010 and I was told that only one of the smaller crystals is stabilized. Pieces of this size, condition, aesthetics and quality are hard to get and usually expensive. This is a great chance to grab a really good example at a fraction of its value. Special packing will be applied so please check the shipping costs before bidding.
