One of several really showy, richly included specimens Dick bought from collector Terry Szenics, who found them in Chile in about 2004. This particular miniature is a single robust crystal with the finest, largest molybdenite inclusions I have seen in any example from this find. They are dramatic, shiny, crystallized inclusions to about 8 mm in size and are vibrant within the quartz (which is undamaged). Superb example of this rare inclusion!
