A wonderful quartz specimen from the Orange River, a locality from which we have been offering you some really nice fluorites lately, but which also has produced a variety of interesting and pretty quartz specimens. This is a floater cluster, with all terminations complete, of quartz crystals with intense red inclusions of oxidized hematite. Ex. Wein Collection.
