Description

Not from Serifos, but "just around the corner" from me: green elongated quartz, clearly prase by definition, in talc. The "broken" look is mostly a wrong perception, those crystals just have a strange termination.

Just a few have been broken but all of those seem to be healed.

Very unusual find for Germany.and the only German prase specimen I've seen so far.
