An uncommon, fine, cabinet combination specimen from the less well-known Erfurt Way locality in Austria. Quartz and pericline (an albite varietal) are rare from here, but here we have a very glassy complex of quartz crystals nicely accented with a couple of clusters of bone-white pericline crystals, scattered snow-white calcite rhombs and lustrous, wine-red rutile needles included in the quartz crystals. Ex. Alois Steiner and Rolf Wein Collections.
