Item Description
A striking spray of gemmy and lustrous, green, ludlamite crystals aesthetically caps a concave vuggy crust comprised of iron oxide-tinted, botryoidal quartz. This is an uncommon and very fine example of the two species. Ludlamite from this locale is world-known as among the best crystals of the species. Old material from the 1950s or 60s. Ex Dick Jones Collection.
