Included quartz

  
  
Glassy transparent colourless and sharp crystals of quartz to 3.5 cm in size completely covering a  matrix. The quality of these crystals is very high, and they show neat dark red inclusions and phantoms of hematite. There are also colourless inclusions of crystallized dolomite. Minor dark green crystallized epidote is present near the center of the specimen.
