CC-1302 - Orange Quartz
Second Sovietskiy Mine, Dal'negorsk, Primorskiy Kray, Russia
Showy display-quality specimen featuring beautiful, slender, red-orange quartz crystals to 3.0 cm in length on matrix. The crystals are presumably colored by hematite inclusions but it is still unclear exactly what causes the attractive red-orange color in the crystals. These became instant classics when they came out about three years ago and none have been seen since. One of my customers named this specimen "the sea urchin" due to its uncanny likeness to that marine animal. A very delicate piece that will need to be hand-delivered to whoever purchases it. Size: 9.8 x 7.2 x 5.0 cm.
