Quartz w Negative Crystal Inclusions

Specimen # 201223
Mineral: Quartz w Negative Crystal Inclusions
Location: Procchio, Marciana, Elba, Tuscany, Italy
Size: 6.4 x 2.0 x 1.7 cm

Description

This is a super specimen of negative crystal inclusions in quartz from Elba – easily appreciated without magnification but fantastic with a bit of magnification! (e.g. with a loupe). The crystal itself is in good condition in most areas, with a large chip at the termination. What matters with this specimen are the inclusions, and the prism faces through which they are viewed are sharp and glassy – clear and easy to see through.

From the collection of John S. White – great negative crystal inclusions!
