Item Description

This is a very attractive association specimen from one of the most famous classic Peruvian localities. Several DOUBLY-TERMINATED, prismatic, sharp, lustrous, parallel growth crystals of Hubnerite aesthetically sitting atop colorless/white Quartz crystals. A great display piece and wonderful quality to boot. The Hubnerite crystals actually show a bit of reddish color when backlit, but we couldn't illustrate this in the photos. Virtually no notable damage, and so eye-catching! Be sure to pick this one up.
