Sharp woodhouseite crystals to 4 mm or so drape all over the quartz points here, makig nthis both a significantly rich and a beautiful specimen. I have seldom seen such good examples larger than a thumbnail, of this rare species named after the noted mineralogist Woodhouse. The mine is now close dand defunct, and this material is impossible to find easily on the market. As this is a large and somewhat showy piece, I attach value to it beyond just as a representative of the species.

A colorless, transparent, and lustrous crystal of quartz is heavily included with golden, 2mm across, transparent GEM crystals of anatase. This is far more beautiful and much rarer than the rutile inclusions one regularly sees in quartz. The very tip of the quartz termination has just the smallest hint of edge wear when seen from teh side - However, it is inconsequential to this exquisite piece. It is a superb display specimen and the inclusions are readily visible.

Aesthetically nestled in a bed of colorless, transparent quartz crystals, to 3.0 cm in length, are several parallelhubnerite crystals: dark red, with bright red, gemmy, highlights. I have never seen such thick AND gemmy hubnerites and the contrast with the stark white quartz is incredible. This is a VERY choice piece that came out in the 1980s and has long been in a private German collection. The lustre, color, sharpness of the crystals is superb. It is nice that they have REAL terminations instead of the usual fuzzy-terminated style from the locality where the terminations just sort of taper off. Here, we have lustrous, chisel-shaped faces. The largest hubnerite crystal measures over 5.0 cm in length. The color and crystal contrast, again, is just MUCH BETTER IN PERSON to the point i guarantee you won't even believe its the same piece when you hold it in good lighting, compared even to these nice pics.
