Item Description

Serifos Island hedenbergite-included quartz "prases" are a European classic. This striking large piece of lustrous and translucent, tapered green spikes has dramatic flair, with the largest crystal being 5.0 cm long. A very fine and rare accessory are the numerous splendent rosettes of bladed hematite on the floor of the piece. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. Trivial bruising is noted to the tip of the secondary crystal temination. Very fine and rare combination material from this noted locale.
