Item Description
The Japan-Law twin Quartz specimens from this area are well known in the mineral world, and this piece is a good example of said material. The specimen hosts a beautiful, doubly-terminated, gemmy, fairly thick, good-sized, colorless Japan-Law twin Quartz. One side of the twin is partially contacted, but still shows great form and internall gemminess. Pampa Blanca is one of the most famous localities for Japan-Law twin Quartz specimens. Valued at $800.
