Description

Piece of translucent, gem quality pink-coloured quartz that I collected in 1994 at the core zone of the Puentemocha pegmatite. According to Roda-Robles et al. (2012) it was worked during the 1960s for feldspar, exposing decimetric beryl crystals, some of gem quality. Very rare material in collections.
