DESCRIPTION
A remarkable combination - first a double terminated quartz crystal with actinolite inclusions to the left hand side and then a sharp terminated, glossy Bastnäsite crystal in intense orange-red color to the right hand side. Bastnäsite in this quality is generally rare - but this one is even on matrix and associated with two other minerals. Truely an amazing specimen!
