Item Description

A really attractive Quartz specimen from Brandberg, featuring very sharp, lustrous, GEM/gemmy colorless crystals with dozens notable tiny inclusions of reddish, golden, and silvery-black crystals of iron oxide (most likely Hematite and / or Lepidocrocite). Great quality all the way around, and certainly beautiful up close under the microscope. If you're a Quartz collector, I have to think you'd like one of these in your collection. From the collection of renowned mineral dealer, Charlie Key, the namesake for Keyite and Ludlockite.
