Description

From the white evaporites of the Northern Apennines, an aesthetic specimen of black quartz. This quartz variety is pitch black due to organic matter inclusions. The specimen features a sharp terminated crystal perfectly perched on matrix, associated to portions of black quartz which testify the tectonization of the evaporites.  
Excellent quality for the locality, quite sough-after by Italian collectors.

Self collected in 2003.
