Description

Despite being very rich in minerals, the mining area of Fluminimaggiore is not famous for quartz. Therefore, when one pops up, it is worth the attention of collectors - like this specimen.

Up for bid you find an urchin of (mostly) milky quartz crystals which has been coated by iron oxides. This has provided a 'hematoid' effect and hue, as the thin layer definitely contributes to a remarkable color contrast.

The specimen is quite three dimensional and comes with an esthetic appeal as well.
