Item Description
A great, classic locality specimen of Quartz from Bolivia. This piece features dozens of sharp, water-clear prismatic Quartz crystals associated with a dark golden complex group of Marcasite measuring 9 mm across. This piece was mined in about 2009 in the old, historic Contacto vein in the mine that produced some of the finest phosphate specimens from Siglo XX in the 1940's and 1950's.
