A beautiful crystal plate of Quartz crystals from the famous Orange River in South Africa. Variable crystals with zoned crystal faces, some clear, some with red Hematite and others with specular Hematite. Really nice and unusual specimen.
 
The Orange River, bordering South Africa and Namibia, is a desert region that is world-renowned for its exceptional quartz specimens often associated with hematite and often with red coatings or phantoms.
