Item Description
An elegant, dramatic, tapered quartz crystal is filled with green actinolite variety byssolite needles on this showy and pristine specimen from Alchuri, Pakistan. The quartz crystal is nearly transparent in some sections, has very nifty, stepped-growth faces and the wealth of actinolite needles gives the crystal a green tint. Most of the crystal faces are lightly frosted and/or etched. Complete all-around and aesthetic. Excellent material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
