Item Description

A beautiful crystallized, three dimensional spray of rather gemmy colorless prismatic Quartz crytsal from this most classic of localities. Cavnic was first documented in 1336, as Capnic. It was named after the river, which got its name from a Slavic word, kopan?, which refers to digging. Mining activity in the area dates back to the Roman age. Simon Papp, the famous Hungarian geologist, was born here on February 14, 1886. The specimen itself is nearly damage free, and is hard to photograph, it looks better in person. Don't miss out on this one, the quality is good. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
