This piece hosts several large, sharp, lustrous, well-formed, translucent, olive-green crystal groups of Zanazziite which are aesthetically sitting on a matrix of crystallized Rose Quartz and white Quartz. The largest Zanazziite aggregate measures 3 mm across. This specimen is over 30 years old and is from the original find from the 1970's. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
