Description

A very rich specimen of ganophyllite featuring half a dozen of druzies scattered on top of a red jasper matrix, lined with white quartz vein. Ganophyllite is very lustrous and in great conditions, often associated to millimetric quartz crystals. 

Colorful and contrastful specimen, I personally collected it in 2003 during a field trip while I was a geology undergraduate student. In my collection ever since.
