Dolomite (twin) on Quartz

Item Description

A really attractive and interesting specimen from Brumado featuring classic compressed twinned crystals of soft golden color Dolomite (with reddish brown iron zoning) that shows selective alternating WATER CLEAR clarity and matte luster beautifully perched atop a single gemmy prism of Quartz. Great quality, especially from the standpoint of the Dolomite, as the species is rarely seen in such well-formed twins, let alone GEM crystals. The Quartz crytal is not terminated, but the Dolomite appears to be damage free to the naked eye. The best of these pieces are some of the biggest and gemmiest twinned specimens from any world locality. The Dolomite measures 1.5 cm across.
