Description

A very uncommon specimen of doubly ended quartz from a locality near Tihange (Belgium). It is slightly smoky and has a good lustre. I have seen only a couple of these and I’m told that the exact deposit, that I do not know, is a small trench excavated in 1970’s for a water conduction.

A good quality specimen from this obscure locality. Ex. Paul Van Wassenhoven (BE) specimen.
