Description

This is a relatively old specimen from Virgl, the local mountain of Bolzano (Bozen) in Italy. The major crystals at the center of the piece are almost perfect and they are partly covered with glistening Quartz. They are sharp edged, highly lustrous and transparent. There is a clear multifacing on largely all faces what gives the cubes an interesting pattern. Already with low magnification an feast for the eyes.
