8lhmris ((LEPIDOLITE on QUARTZ)) $20 MINIMUM BID, Klaus Treu Hartz Mine, Barrado Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 11 x 6 x 5 cm, Cabinet | |
Here is an unusual double terminated somewhat Smoky Quartz that is clear inside. One termination is covered with small druze of Lepidolite. The other termination's faces have a unusual surface that appears to be an epitaxial growth making the surface rough and looking like snakeskin. This one is hard to describe. The easiest part is that attached to the Quartz is a large mica/lepidolite book with an outside coating of the small druze of Lepidolite. |
