Measurements: 120 x 80 x 50
mm
Description: A rather unique cluster of phantom quartz, on a matrix of feldspar. The matrix has been trimmed. The phantom quartz crystals have the most bizarre, unique features: some are black, with bits of brick-red colour, whilst others have a brick-red colour with clear terminations. A few have lost their outer coating through the years, and new crystals have started growing on the inner (now exposed) phantoms. If you're a crystal quartz collector, you'll find this a most remarkable specimen!There
are quite a
few nicks to the specimen. Hardness on Mohs Scale: 7 Location: Orange River, Northern Cape, South Africa. Specimen Code: SNCO 011 US $ 250
