Item Description

A cool and eye-catching display specimen featuring a of colorless, sharp, lustrous, prismatic Quartz crystal which is included by hundreds of thin, deep moss green color "Byssolite" (Amphibole) crystals creating a lovely two-tone color effect. The piece displays rather well from the front, showing very little damage. A lovely "Alpine-type" specimen from this classic Pakistani "cleft" deposit. This is one of the best of these specimens that I've seen from Tormiq. From the dealer stock of Herb Obodda.
