Quartz with Hematite

specimen number:
1501879

location:
Ambatofinandrahana District, Amoron'i Mania Region, Fianarantsoa Province, Madagascar

description:
Semi-lustrous translucent colorless to red crystals of quartz, some double terminated and measuring to almost 6.5 cm in size, forming an attractive 10.5 x 8.0 x 5.0 cm grouping. This sits up perfectly by itself for display, and actually can display nicely from several angles and views. Micro-chipping present but extremely sparse and minimal, I think this in very good condition. Attractive example, the red coloration undoubtedly due to iron oxides. Shipping weight: 0.84 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
