3.0 x 1.7 x 1.5 cm (largest). These so-called "Suttrop Quartz" specimens once were highly treasured in Europe, but now are so rare that almost nobody knows about them and so nobody really looks to collect them. They turn up, from time to time, in old collections and otherwise you will not even see one. They are just milky quartz, but in floaters of interesting and stereotypical habits. This is a whole set of them from the noted collection of R. Metzger of Vienna, mid-1900s.
