Item Description
A striking and beautiful, 3.2 cm, water-clear, quartz "tower" aesthetically sits on a rocky promontory of highly lustrous, lightly iridescent, brassy, marcasite epitaxial on large arsenopyrite crystals. Classic and very showy combination material from the famous Panasqueira Mine and the Joan Massague Collection. The specimen also has siderite in association. It is not just a common quality, but is really exceptional and display worthy! From the collection of a noted Panasquiera collector.
