Item Description
Quartz crystals of this size are very uncommon from this famous fluorite mining district. The two showy intergrown crystals resemble Herkimer quartz "diamonds" from New York. The crystals are very glassy, transparent to translucent, and have a bit of attached and included shale. The impressive sharply terminated crystal is complete all-around, nearly pristine and has a nifty, deep skeletal feature on a lower frontal face. Choice and uncommon Berbes quartz, self-collected by Paco Gutierrez.
