Description

Significant display quartz drusy consisting of a set of two interconnected faden groups grown atop of grey metamorphic matrix. Associated, over two dozens of colorless to transparent quartz crystals. 
Some crystals show a dark yellow core, given by inclusions of iron oxides which I did not remove in order to preserve the geological signature of the area.
In my collection since the early 2000s, it was collected by an elder Italian strahler.
