Apophyllite on Quartz incl. w/ Chlorite or Hedenbergite

Item Description

Scintillating, tiny, apophylllite jewels preferentially coat one side of the quartz crystals on this rare and striking large combination specimen from the 2nd Sovietskiy Mine. The glassy, transparent quartz crystals have frosted/etched faces and are tinted green by included chlorite or hedenbergite. All of the many major quartz crystals are pristine. The piece displays well from either side, although one side has a bit more periphery wear. Very fine combination material from late mining operations in 2006.
