A very rare and wonderful American pseudomorph specimen from the Hauck Collection. An epidote crystal has been entirely replaced with quartz and hematite, with its original sharp form perfectly retained in the pseudomorphed crystal! A later generation of gemmy little quartz crystals decorate the faces. This is the sort of thing you just cannot find around no matter how much you want one; every now and then one is released from an old collection, and that is the only way to get one... 9.7 x 3.6 x 2.5cm
