An OLD-TIME, CLASSIC and BEAUTIFUL specimen of two, gem-like, quartz crystals included with hematite on matrix covered with specular hematite from the famous iron mines of Egremont, England. The quartz crystals look like cut diamonds, they are so exquisite! Most people call these beta quartz for the bipyramidal form, but technically they have an extra thin face and are not. Very trivial edge wear is certainly not a detraction from this super old-timer, as you can see. Ex. Richard Hauck Quartz Collection.
