Item Description

A classic piece of this well-known association from one of the most historic mining districts in England. Dozens of very sharp and lustrous, gemmy to translucent, very slightly smoky color Quartz crystals with the well-knwon bi-pyramidal habit are the setting for brilliant metallic silvery Hematite (variety "Specularite") "rosettes" and soft pink rhombs of Dolomite. Hard to find on the market today. From the famous collection of Helen and Raul Madrid.
