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!

An aesthetic combination of a rather large main quartz emerging from a group of smaller crystals. The quartz is completely colorless, glassy and lustrous, with no damage to speak of. A beautiful, well developed specimen with no downsides!

Jet black tabular hematite in combination with schorl, quartz and albite micro-crystals. The hematite has very nice luster on front and backside and while it has mostly rough edges those are not damaged but natural. The hematite is set on a single clear and lustrous quartz crystal that has a thin schorl grown right through it. The larger schorl crystals are on the front and up to 1 x 0,3 cm in size. All in all this is a very nice combination piece without damage from the rauris quarry. The pictures also show the exact findspot.

Sharp and water-clear! This is a single quartz crystal of exceptional quality. The pointed termination displays a large window-like face that grants a deep insight, right to the bottom of the colorless transparent crystal. There is minimal edgewear present, overall this piece is in great condition! Have a look on our video to see the superb quality of this specimen!
