Item Description
This small find of botryoidal quartz with unique color is from the more recently opened N'Chwaning III Mine. Intergrown, lustrous, translucent, pleasing lavender quartz balls rest on a matrix of unusual-looking etched quartz. The color is probably due to manganese, but they have not been analyzed to date. Very uncommon on the market.
