Item Description

The Zanett tunnel is named after the family that owns the Grizzly Bear mine. Specimens from this mine are fairly sought after by Colorado collectors. This specimen hosts sharp, translucent, milky, lustrous, prismatic Quartz crystals, and although it's not easy to see in the photos, the piece appears to be a complete "floater" showing no point of attachment, as all of the Quartz crystals are doubly-terminated as far as I can tell. Amazingly attractive for a Quartz specimen, and really hard to find on the market anymore. Well worth picking up for any Quartz or Colorado mineral collector.
