Prase quartz vein in fibrous hedenbergite from the classic Elba island, Italy. A rich vein opens throughout the specimen, with sharp pointy quartz crystals, with partial transparency at the tips. Luster is low, which is typical for these small veins typically coated with a high amount of oxides. Hedenbergite shows its sprayey apprearance and is rather solid.

Dated back to the early 90s. Representative for the paragenesis.
