Item Description
A very nifty and aesthetic combination piece from recent finds in Argentina. Complete all-around and pristine, this cutie is highlighted by the sharp, lustrous, translucent, 3.1 cm, smoky quartz crystal. Adding to the panache of the smoky, tiny limonite pseudos after siderite crystals are embedded in several faces! Tiny, snow-white, albite crystals are scattered about epitaxially on the sharp, cream-colored microcline crystals. A very fine and showy, highly representative combination piece from the find.
