Description
Outstanding plate of superb, tabular Fadenquartz crystals from Switzerland. The crystals are in excellent condition, and the largest one is a full 4,1 cm in size. This elegant cluster is composed of flattened, doubly terminated, parallel growth of glassy and gemmy, coloruless Quartz crystals. Note the faden lines inside, which show as a distinct white band or thread through each crystal. (The word "faden" means string or thread in German.) The pics are good, but the bright, gemmy aesthetics are even better in person. Matrix examples of Fadenquartz are very uncommon from this locality, and the piece displays much better than the typical clusters from here usually do.
