Item Description
Brick-red hematite is preferentially included in this dense and dramatic large plate of quartz crystals from Madagascar. The crystals in this striking jackstraw jumble reach about 6.0 cm, have really unusual frosted faces and nice sharp phantoms. The secondary crystal, also 6.0 cm, is doubly terminated. A striking and uncommon, 360-degree quartz from this less well-known Madagascar locality.
