Description

A miniature specimen of grey quartz filled with numerous electric blue sprays of cyanotrichite from this famous Chinese find. The aggregates are mostly isolated and great for photography, with good crystal terminations. Some areas are more intricated, as the cyanotrichite forms carpet like coatings.

A sweet little specimen from the early 2000s. Former Bruno Cerato stock, a late renowned Italial collector and dealer.
