Description

A number of double terminated quartz crystals cover a broad part of the surface of the grey host rock. The presence of two matrix crests gives a very three dimensional display to the specimen. On top of the quartz, a few small white baryte crystals, occasionally with internal phantoms when transparency is evident. Excellent color contrast and very good lustre for both species.

Cute miniature from this classic German locality. Former collection Burger (Switzerland). Pre-1950s specimen, labeled in the modern times.
