Helvin, quartz, hematite – Jinlong Hill, Longchuan, Heyuan, Guangdong, China
Aesthetic paragenesis of long-prismatic quartz, fine-leafed hematite and rare helvine!
The rare manganese-sulfur-beryllium silicate occurs four times in this stage and reaches an enormous edge length of up to 2 cm!! The green helvines are all crystallized with sharp edges and are undamaged. The quartzes, which are up to 10 cm long, are also undamaged and of excellent quality. Quartz crystals that look damaged at first glance have without exception been prevented from growing further during formation. Presumably by already weathered calcites. The hematite roses are also intact and of good quality.
Completely undamaged collector's piece from China with crystals of rare size and best quality!
A highlight from China!!!
