Description

A small quartz group from the beautiful find from March 2003. You can read the exact find history on my homepage. This group consists of larger main crystals up to 3.5 cm long, which are intergrown and all double terminated. All main crystals show this thin white layer which made the find so famous. Additionally the crystals are covered with a second generation of quartz crystals and some greenish chlorite. Nice little floater specimen from this find!
