Description

A few years ago, I bought a collection of quartz from Crete from a German collector. The collection included various specimens from locations in Chania prefecture. This piece is one of those that stood out from most, because of its superb clarity. It reminded me of Herkimer quartz quality. Because of this clarity, it is not easy to photograph but there is a group of lustrous, transparent quartz crystals on a contrasting brown matrix!
