A superb, old-time combination piece of gemmy, golden-brown eosphorite blades totally covering one-half of a water-clear quartz crystal that has a partial overgrowth of frosted quartz. Essentially pristine. This fine and rare combination piece is from 1960s-70s finds at the renowned Lavra da Ilha pegmatite, located on a island in the Jequitinhonha River, Minas Gerais. The pegmatite could only be mined when water levels were low. This is about the best quality miniature you can ask for, and shows dramatically like a starburst spray of crystals, on contrasting matrix.
