Description

Choice small cabinet featuring a nice drusy of prase quartz crystals grown over fibrous hedenbergite matrix. In great conditions, provided some peripheral contact, quartz is so transparent that one can even spot the individual hedenbergite needle inclusions. 

Lustrous and very aesthetic, this is a specimen from the late 80s or even earlier than that.
