Description
This is a superb miniature sized specimen from the Anka & Uli Bahmann collection of Orange River quartz, assembled between 2000 and 2010, and probably among the best such collection to be build in the heyday here. This matrix specimen consists of a cluster of rather equant, translucent Quartz crystals to over 2 cm in length. The colour is incredible: The glassy crystals are heavily included with an evenly saturated microscopic granular Hematite, giving the crystals a very rich and even reddish colour. Most of the crystals exhibit phantoms right at the very top of the terminations. Overall, dramatic, distinct, and pristine on the display face. It is nearly complete all around, with a few minor contacts at the lower periphery, only.
