Item Description
Prasiolite is the RARE natural variety of green quartz. MINDAT lists only four localities worldwide, with Thunder Bay being one of them. Classic Thunder Bay included hematite-speckled glassy sharp light green terminated crystals with subtle amethyst hints grade downward to a dense diverging spray of lustrous, translucent green crystals. RARE Thunder Bay quartz from the Crown Jewel Mine. From the collection of the mine owner, A.K. Siltamaki, so you know it's good.
