Description

I love the odd and unusual in mineral forms and this specimen certainly ticks all the boxes. This septred quartz actually has two seperate spetred crystals off the main prism. Both are sharp, bright and undamaged. They are both quite transparent have the oddest haematite inclusion, that look like has dribbled red paint on the interior of the quartz crystals.

This specimen was collected in 1996 from a limited find in the Springhust area.
