A beautiful example of an association I had not yet seen from Andreasberg of sparkling drusy quartz upon a large, translucent calcite rhomb. The whole piece glows when backlit and is one of the most attractive Andreasberg specimens I can recall seeing of any species for sheer sparkle value. It is nearly pristine, and certainly complete on front. Label is dated 1832!
