This is a superb specimen of waterclear rockcrystal accompanied by creme white, rhombohedral dolomite associated as a relatively large cluster. Both species are in splendid condition, sharp edged and highly lustrous. Of course they are well developed and undamaged. Swiss tunnel minerals are exceeding rare, consequently sought and hard to get hold of. And this is a superb one.
