Description

Luki is not a well known locality, but it has certainly produced some of the most interesting quartz and calcite specimens for Europe.This piece is a cluster of quartz point, translucent. combined with small calcite crystals.The quartz points are essentially of pineapple growth,with parallel growth termination faces on the prisms.The terminations are clear and maximum lustrous.The calcite crystals are sugary, with multiple faces and beige in color!Please note that pieces from there usually don't make it to the international market,since dealers prefer to carry the more famous galena and sphalerite pieces from there. The piece is in great condition and visually undamaged.
