Description

Cluster given by three quartz crystals, partly milky (bottom) and partly transparent (mid prism to tip). One side of the crystals, especially the main one, is covered by dozens of small crude brown siderite crystals, a classic feature from this locality. A few peripheral bruises, the termination of the middle quartz is broken, even though not distracting from the overall esthetic.

A nice group, quite representative of the Swiss locality. Former collection Kasper (CH).
