This specimen hosts sharp, translucent, milky, lustrous, prismatic Quartz crystals which are associated with a few small (8 mm) rhombohedrons of Rhodochrosite. You can see on the back side of the piece that one of the Rhodochrosite crystals is cleaved, showing the rich pink color, while others are completely coated with Quartz. The Zanett tunnel is named after the family that owns the Grizzly Bear mine. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
