Quartz

Yunxian Mine (Fujian), China - 6x4.5x3 cm

A small and intriguing chinese miniature, consisting of two parallel and pristine smoky quartz crystals on a microcline-based matrix. The quartz is 3.5 cm tall, bright and very well positioned on the base, which also includes some small elements of brilliant spessartine. A very nice miniature, shopped at R&T Minerals in 2004.
