Bertrandite & Pyrite on Smoky Quartz (Trimingham Coll.)

Item Description

Dozens of sharp, snow-white bertrandite prisms are scattered on all sides of the glassy smoky quartz crystal on this striking and excellent combination piece from this well-known locale. The prisms reach 1.2 cm, large for the locale. Sparkly pyrite microcrystals and a yellowish carbonate are fine accents to the bertrandites. The smoky quartz has a water-clear termination with a sharp phantom and progressively becomes darker and has more inclusions lower in the crystal. The side car quartz crystal has a broken and healed termination. This facinating 360-degree combination piece is outstanding, rare and has fine aesthetics for the locale. Ex Bob Trimingham locale.
