Description

A plate of well formed quartz crystals on a thin hematite and quartz matrix. Most of the crystals on the main display face are undamaged there is one area where the crystals are missing but still a nice bright cabinet specimen. On the display face the hematite is inside each quartz crystal so most crystals are half smokey quartz and half reddish hematite. An interesting and curious combination.
