Description from the seller

Splendid specimen from Cavnic, Romania: quartz with brilliant pyrite crystal faces on one part. An elegant and well-balanced piece, with excellent contrast of colors and shapes. A classic example of world mineralogy, ideal for collectors attentive to aesthetics and historical provenance. The fluorescence photos are taken with UV waves LW and SW. The pinkish color is due to the matrix beneath the quartz, fluorescing in transparency.
