Quartz with Sphalerite
specimen number:
1821235
location:
Dal'negorsk, Primorskiy Kray, Russia
description:
Extremely colorful and attractive orange to colorless translucent prismatic quartz crystals measuring to 3.3 cm in length coming off a crystallized sphalerite matrix. Completely crystallized all around with no matrix or points of attachment. Minimal micro-chipping present, almost every one of these orange quartz examples I have seen show a little bit of micro-chipping. The crystals that at first appear broken are naturally crystallized. I find this to be in excellent condition. Collected in the 1990s.
Size: 7.5 x 6.0 x 3.0 cm (small-cabinet)
