Description

I haven’t heard about minerals from Tunesia yet, this country isn’t well known for minerals. But sometimes, some little treasures were found. This is an unusual specimen from the area of a small village near Tunis, Tunesia’s capital. It shows some very well developed and deep black quartz crystals on matrix. The original label from the former collector is glued on the specimen’s backside. This item is something very special and a true rarity.
