This excellent phantom quartz specimen from the new finds in Hyderabad shows particularly intensive colors!
The purple and red hematite inclusions are easily visible through the transparent quartz and some iron oxide coating around the base adds some orange color too. Very attractive!
Unlike many specimens from this find which are damaged all over, this one is in excellent condition with only very minimal abrasions here and there. It is an outstanding piece from a spectacular find!

The largest calcite is a 5.3 cm doubly terminated crystal, prominently set at the very top. It is supportet by a complex aggregate of smaller crystals, all covered by brilliant chalcopyrite. The overall condition is very well with only some contacts around the base. Absolutely gorgeous specimen of vibrant character!
