Item Description
Siglo XX is one of the most impressive Bolivian localities hands down. It is the type locality for many "best in the world" species, and it even produces some amazing specimens of common species like Quartz. The specimen hosts several GEM quality, razor sharp, lustrous, prismatic, colorless Quartz crystals forming an attractive display piece. Some of the crystals are actually halves of "Japan-Law" twins, but the other end either never formed above the other crystals, or was broken during collecting. The piece is very eye-catching and superb quality for the material.
