Description

This attractive group of druzy quartz hides a secret, the matrix is an etched boxwork of andradite garnet, which can be easily seen on the reverse side of the specimen.

Hidden amongst the nooks and crannies of this boxwork are very small lemon yellow stolzite crystals. A sweet secret indeed
