Item Description

A beautiful, 3.7 cm, water-clear, complete all-around and pristine, quartz crystal proudly dominates the crest of the mounded CABINET matrix. Down the front and on one side are smaller quartz crystals, off-white rhombs of chabazite and small nests of hairy actinolite variety byssolite fibers. The nifty, 3.0 cm, doubly terminated quartz crystal near the monolith is included with byssolite. Very fine and showy combination material from a classic Monte Bianco locale and the Bonisoli Collection.
