Slender crystals of a deep salmon color, with light terminations, of pretty "red quartz" from Dalnegorsk, tinted red by iron as a trace element. RARE specimens not seen on the market in 4-5 years now! Valued at ??? Hard to say as this would have been a few hundred dollars even then and they remain so unique and desirable... 7.4 x 3.7 x 2.9 cm
