Victorian Goldfields Quartz & Pyrite Specimen – Jagged Teeth Quartz Crystals: Specimen 5

Victorian Goldfields Quartz & Pyrite Specimen – Jagged Teeth Quartz Crystals: Specimen 5Notable Features This 235 g quartz and pyrite specimen measures 3 2. 5 2. 5 in (Width Length Height). It features a cluster of jagged, tooth like quartz crystals in shades of white, orange, and black, creating a bold and dramatic texture. Among the cluster, one rare pure red crystal stands out against the surrounding white quartz, adding striking contrast. With a very high sulfidation level, this specimen is rich in metallic mineralization, making it

The orangey sulfides highlight the mineralizing system and provide a strong color accent against the white and pink quartz

with one very large crystal jutting out from the side

The sulfide saturation makes this specimen glitter under light and distinguishes it from lower-sulfidation quartz pieces

a dramatic example of open-space growth within the vein

rare specimens containing visible free gold are known

Pyrite – scattered brassy flecks

and large crystals in white

and heavy sulfide inclusions

The highlight of this specimen is its clear vein structure and quartz development within bedrock
