Item Description
An amazing combination thumbnail specimen from a small new find at the renowned Huanzala Mine of Peru, from mid-January of 2010. An incredible array of glassy variably sized quartz points is strikingly perched atop a sharp pink fluorite octahedron. There are at least 8 quartz scepters in the cluster - VERY rare for Huanazala. The sharp octohedron is are glassy and gemmy with modified octohedral faces with minute and intricate surface modifications. The color is a rich pink hue. For the size range, this is an exceptional and rare combination specimen. SUPER purple fluorescence!!
