Quartz with EpidoteFrom the famous replacement ore body in the Camp Bird Mine, we have seen some of the most interesting, crystallized specimens from anywhere in the San Juans. This particular piece features dozens of bright, WATER clear, rather lustrous, colorless hexagonal prisms of Quartz included with rarely seen beautiful pistachio green Epidote needles. Top quality Quartz crystals, and certainly hard to find on the market these days. No real damage to speak of on

HIGHLY modified (combination cubes

and good display specimens of this material are next to impossible to find

Specimen #PREH31113

colorless Quartz crystals

Very little damage and highly displayable

but what makes them so rare and special is the fact that you have a native metal replacing a mineral that contains that metal

well-formed elongated twin

The crystal is fine quality and even has a few secondary accenting crystals growing off it

This piece is a beautiful bright green hue (some think this may be due to chromium content

but it’s definitely different than typical pieces from Viloco

The piece is complete and undamaged all around and the lovely antique patina on the surface gives it character

and is not contacted
