Description

Here is an odd rarity. Even if it doesn't look like at the first look, this quartz is a gwindel. It comes from a unique find in the early 90's in Budinarci, Macedonia. The find is recorded in The Mineralogical Record, March 2007. The specimen is fully recrystallized on every contact zone and it's covered with chlorite. Only a handful of these were found. Of course, it's not Swiss quality but its rarity makes it pretty unique.
