1505485
location:
Panasqueira Mine, Covilha, Castelo Branco, Portugal
description:
Very impressive for the locality, a large glassy partly gemmy smoky quartz crystal, this double terminated and measuring 33.0 x 11.0 x 8.0 cm in size. Small crystals of green fluorapatite and minor muscovite scattered over the top. Considering the size of this piece, chipping is extremely minimal and I think this is in very good condition. Complete all-around. When viewed from one side the crystal is transparent. Shipping weight: 11.36 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
