Description

Hedenbergite included quartz tends to be dull and matte-finished, with barely any color, from this locality. Not so here – this crystal is highly lustrous and colorful and features highest aesthetics. The crystal is multiple stepped and absolutely all this tiny faces are very glossy. Atop there are minor reddish inclusions, maybe caused by hematite-inclusions. This type only came from Sinerechenskoe and are typically for the locality, but never much quantity reached the market.
