Description

Such an outstanding rarity you will not find soon again! There is nothing compareable to find, not even at mindat. This waterclear, double terminated faden-quartz is even sitting on matrix, accompanied with some smaler crystals. You can nicely see the faden beginning at the bottom of the crystal, reaching up to the top. Some yellow to golden limonit, which is also present, definately give this beauty the icing on the cake.
