Item Description

Hubnerite specimens are uncommon from this well-known Chinese locale and exceptionally aesthetic combination pieces, such as this piece, are rare. Lustrous, well-terminated, parallel-growth, hubnerite blades are stunningly accompanied by an angled, 5.0 cm, water-clear, quartz crystal "finger". The 1.0 cm quartz crystal embedded in the hubnerite at the termination is a super accent. Both sides of the base of the piece host splendent, sharp, metallic-gray, arsenopyrite crystals. Very nearly pristine. The hubnerites are pristine and the quartz has only very trivial termination wear. The piece displays beautifully from either side.
