Item Description

Botryoidal lavender quartz is rare worldwide and this recent find at the N'Chwaning III Mine was very surprising! Two, nubby, stacked botryoids of densely intergrown terminated crystals are accented with more normal crystals on this showy and rare quartz form. The color is probably due to manganese, but they have not been analyzed to date. Very uncommon on the market.
