Item Description

An attractive association specimen from one of the most famous classic Peruvian localities. Several thin, sharp, rather lustrous, prismatic, parallel growth crystals of Hubnerite intergrown with colorless gemmy Quartz crystals. The finest aspect to this specimen is the fact that when it is backlit, it shows the classic and highly sought after blood-red hue that made these specimens so popular 30 years ago. An attractive display piece and good quality to boot.
