Description
An excellent and striking cabinet specimen displaying a slightly fanned, radiating cluster of gemmy to translucent Quartz crystals, measuring to an overall height of 11 cm. Covering the back of these are biscuit tan Siderite crystals, themselves covered in a later development of white Dolomite crystals and some mixed sulphides, including Chalcopyrite. From the Trepča Mining Complex at Kosovska Mitrovica in Kosovo, the colourless to translucent milky Quartz has created a very handsome specimen, most suitable for display.\n
