Quartz with Pyrite on Hisingerite after Ilvaite
specimen number:
1602219
location:
Dal'negorsk, Primorskiy Kray, Russia
description:
A spray of orange red translucent quartz crystals measuring to 2.0 cm in size coming off what was once a crystal of elbaite, this now replaced by hisingerite and partially coated with microscopic pyrite. Interesting and attractive specimen. There is slight chipping to the quartz crystals, but a lot of what you see is not damage but completely re-healed.
