Description

Aesthetic group of perfect herkimer quartz crystals elegantly perched on carbonate-rich vein in marl matrix. Quartz crystals are gem quality, with perfect glass lustre, and proudly stand out, showing perfect transparency for most of their extent. On the back of the specimen also a group of herkimer quartz crystals with the same characteristics, but smaller.

Once a classic from Northern Italy and its sedimentary formations (Apennines), these specimens have become increasingly rarer across the years. This one comes from a collection assembled in the 70s.
