Description

Old-timed alpine specimens are very rare and I have seen just a handful of good specimens during the years. Most of them are scruffy and undamaged specimens are rather the exception. But this is a superfine classic old-timed specimen of Rockcrystal on minor matrix. It measures enormous 15.6 cm is sharp edged, highly lustrous and almost gemmy. It has a fine horizontal striation and the tip is very good (small scratch). Considering the lenght of time the piece lasted it is definitely not worth to report. This specimen comes with the original associated and matching fine old label. This is an important alpine oldtimer. It was impossible to produce a good picture of the specimen with the label,- so I was forced to edit the image with the label.
