Extremely rare locality specimen featuring drusy clusters of quartz of apple green colour, in a recrystallized volcanic matrix. Collected in a trekking trip near the top of the Monte Verde by Ludo Van Goethem. Monte Verde is the highest point (744 m) of the island of São Vicente. This is the first quartz specimen from Cabo Verde offered on e-rocks, after we offered other two of calcite and chalcedony from the same collection.
