Quartz with Chlorite

Minas Gerais, Brazil

Miniature 5.1 x 2.5 x 2.1cm

This is an excellent, limpid specimen of terminated Quartz, with Chlorite included in the terminal faces, giving it a dark green, translucent appearance. The crystal is lustrous, with defined surface growth patterns and clean edges. I note a few nicks and one chip on the backside of the termination, which doesn't detract from the interest of this piece. It also features a small sidecar crystal with identical terminal inclusions of chlorite. This piece has character and is priced very generously for how clean it is.
