Item Description

A RARE, striking and unique, polished quartz ball from Brazil is included with a VERY UNUSUAL mineral assemblage: equant cream to tan to gemmy/translucent sea-green hydroxylherderite crystals and a few scattered hematite flakes. What a totally unusual and very showy quartz specimen included with sharp hydroxylherderite crystals! We have never seen another like it. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
