Item Description

An interesting specimen with highly unusual and colorful aesthetics. The quartz crystals are coated on most faces by an iridescent yellow mineral, probably an iron oxide. The Bor Quarry has very rarely produced a few of these and this is an excellent example. Pristine, except for trivial periphery wear. The back of the large quartz is cotacted, but has no damage, per se. A must for the species or locality collector.
