Item Description
Classic, old-time, desirable and rare material from the Richard Hauck Quartz Collection. A fabulous, sculptural cluster of quartz crystals is so richly included with tourmaline, that they look like smoky quartz crystals! The large quartz is doubly terminated and this striking floater specimen is pristine. The Pohndorf Mine is well-known, but has been extinct for a long time. Outstanding, rare and aesthetic combination material from this locale. Looks like a submarine or rocket ship.
