Item Description

A very cute and classic combination from the famous mines at Panasqueira. A 3.0 cm gem quartz crystal proudly guards an undulating field of striking, colorful, iridescent greenish-yellow, metallic-gray, arsenopyrite blades. The iridescence on this very aesthetic piece is shocking. Nearly pristine, the slight chip out of the back of the quartz termination is barely noticeable. Excellent combination material from a major rarities collection. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
