Description

Sizeable matrix specimen of quartzite hosting a significant large wolframite crystal from this classic British locality. The partial crystal is 5.5 cm across, and it shows very fresh metallic surfaces. One of the biggest I have seen for sale in the recent years.
Former collection Charles Dodsworth (UK), it comes with a painted label on the back and a pasted label detached. From my understanding, the specimen has been identified ('checked') at the Oxford University.
