Item Description

A very rarely seen specimen of GEM/gemmy, "Herkimer" Quartz crystals on matrix from the famous area at Lavrion, Greece. This piece hosts very sharp, GEM QUALITY, rather lustrous, "jewel"-like modified, colorless crystals of "Herkimer" style Quartz crystals measuring up to 7 mm on matrix. More of a reference specimen, but these are NOT easily found on the market these days. I've honestly only seen one of these pieces, and I bought it directly from a Greek mineral dealer, so I know it's authentic.
