Mineral: Quartz after Danburite
Locality: Dalnegorsk, Dalnegorsk Urban District, Primorsky Krai, Russia
Dimensions: 7.7 x 7.0 x 3.2 cm

Description: Drusy quartz pseudomorphing crystals of danburite with a preferential coating of tan siderite. The label that accompanied the specimen indicated it was from the 2nd Sovietskiy Mine, but I am more inclined to believe it is from the Dalnegorsk B deposit.
