Description

One of these clear quartz specimen, which are nearly impossible to photograph. I cannot capture the clarity with the camera. The crystal is water-clear, you can see green chlorite on the faces of the backside. The termination is razor-sharp, all faces show best luster. I have to note that it much better in person, photo doesn´t do justice to the piece at all, specimen is really on highest quality. No significent damages to report
