Quartz crystals colored a forest green due to micro inclusions of Hedenbergite - definitely different from the usual Quart/Fluorite/Sulfide specimens seen from the San Antonio Mine. On one side of the specimen, the Quartz crystals are semi transparent, have a stubby habit and have a high luster. On the other side of the specimen, the crystals are smaller and much thinner and elongated in habit. These crystals have a coating of an unidentified, light gray/green colored material which is likely more Hedenbergite.

Condition: Good

Flaws: Several of the Quartz crystals are broken. Also, the Calcite is rounded off due to acid etching.
