Quartz - doubly terminated tessin habit
stock #15.1-502
Ganesh Himal
Dhading, Nepal
4.2 x 2.8 x .8 CM (miniature)
price: $80
new year 2021

Very slender Tessin habit Quartz included by Chlorite. A very delicate specimen with the main crystal doubly terminated and hosting two branching smaller crystals. In excellent condition as seen, the proportions are remarkable too, the thickest part of the main crystal is just 2.5 MM. This piece is from a find in 2015 in the incredible Alpine clefts of Ganesh Himal. There were quite a few nice Tessins in the find but most had damage or were not complete. This is a textbook example of this rather uncommon habit.
