Description

The Piz Runal is 2.705 m high mountain in the eastern part of Switzerland. I've seen not many specimens from this location. The faden-quartz has an impressive size and is crystallited all around. Only at the base is a little matrix left. The faden is very well visible, all crystals are sharp terminated with high luster. The specimen is easy to display all around and is 99 % undamaged. Only a very small, hidden area (6 mm wide) is not crystallized. Much better and more attractive in person.
