This is so reminiscent of England it's uncanny. This miniatures size specimen hosts dozens of superb, sharp, lustrous, pyramidal crystals of Quartz that are included with Hematite / iron oxide to produce some of the most intense red Quartz crystals I've seen from Bolivia. I'm sorry I don't have a more specific locality for this material, but unfortunately that can be the nature of the beast with Bolivian minerals. I know the piece is indeed Bolivian in origin. It was purchased by Brian Kosnar directly from the miner who collected them while Brian was on a buying trip in Bolivia.
