Two attached, tapered bundles of attractive, light pink kutnohorite crystals. Kutnohorite is a rare carbonate whose chemical formula is very similar to that of rhodochrosite. Nice, clean example and complete all around. Size: 2.1 x 1.55 x 3.5 cm.

LB-1299 - Faden Quartz
Toj Village, Waziristan, Pakistan

Large, glassy, transparent, colorless, tabular quartz crystal with a distinct milky, string-like "faden" zone passing through its interior. Very fine and undamaged example of faden quartz and relatively unique because these are usually found as small, stacked crystals rather than single, large crystals. From my personal collection. Size: 4.3 x 1.3 x 13.2 cm.
