Description

A beautiful quartz crystal from a well-known location in the Zillertal Mountains. An old piece - this crystal was found 40 years ago. The crystal is very highly glossy on three sides with the typical cross stripes on the faces. Selective chlorite deposits give the crystal the typical alpine touch. Well crystallized - the bottom is finely healed, therefore to be considered a floater piece!
