Description

This piece features a slender quartz crystal which is almost enveloped by a cluster of sharp, twinned dolomite crystals. The dolomite crystals are a very pale golden colour to almost colourless, and the quartz is colourless/transparent – then there is a surface coating of hematite on both minerals, giving the overall appearance seen in the photographs.

The dolomite crystals on this specimen are fantastic. They are sharp twins up to 2 cm across, with internal colour zoning – they have pale internal golden colour at the terminations and are nearly colourless at the core. The hematite coating on the dolomites is selective – only certain faces are coated, while others are completely free of hematite. It’s not easy to find top calibre collection-worthy dolomite crystals, particularly of this habit.

In excellent condition, no damage (except directly on the underside as displayed).  Sits perfectly for display.

This is a great specimen!
