Tanzanite & Prehnite on large Quartz

Item Description

A sculptural and impressive large quartz combination of the matrix associations from the famous Merelani Hills. One side of the large very glassy, stepped-growth quartz crystal section hosts a 3.0 cm section of a classic striated tanzanite crystal. Super juicy, lustrous, translucent contrasting yellow-green prehnite botryoids are dramatically and richly festooned on both sides of the large crystal section and on the striking piggyback 15.3 cm long quartz crystal with the water-clear termination. The tip of the piggyback quartz is contacted with no damage. The large prehnite botryoid on the top end is 1.5 wide. This is a VERY RARE, colorful and exotic large combination from this renowned locale that helps to show how things form in such a strange deposit. Value?? We've never seen another like it in this size, richness and combination quality
