Description

A 3.5 cm etched doubly terminated smaoky quartz sits atop a stack of orthoclase crystals.

This location has been closed to collecting for many years and is part of a national park. Even when it was accessible it was still a very long walk in, with plenty of tiger snakes to keep you company.
