Item Description
A STRIKING, aesthetic and pristine specimen of sharp, lustrous, bulb-like quartz crystal included with green hedenburgite. The dominant quartz crystal is 6.4 cm tall. These crystals are called quartz "prases". The quartz crystals rest on a matrix, that is essentially SOLID grossular garnet microcrystals! There is even a small beta quartz crystal on the piece! A very nice accent. This superb specimen, for the combination species, is from the much less well-known Sinerechenskoe Mine of the Kavalerovo Mining District, near Dalnegorsk, Russia. Ex Richard Hauck Quartz Collection. VERY UNCOMMON in this quality.
