Alpine Treasures 33

 

A combination of pericline and quartz on a rust-brown limonite matrix. The pericline are well defined crystals up to 2.6 cm tainted with some brown iron oxide. Quartz is arranged between the pericline is transparent and with some iron oxide as well. The overall condition is very good with only minimal abrasions. The larger quartz at the top is repaired which is unfortunate but certainly reduces the price on this otherwise charming and well shaped specimen!
