Description

This is an ultrafine specimen of so called "needle quartz" and not from the val bedretto, the source is a locality at the Ofenhorn in Binn valley. The single crystals are exceeding well defined, razor sharp and mirror bright with a great clearity.  Most of the needle thin crystals are pristine and obviously I can not find any imperfection. This is a very good opportunity to obtain such a fine piece.
