Very choice papagoite quartz, Mike!
Messina Mine is still on my quartz wish-list, nearly impossible to find a nice specimen that's affordable. Congratulations on this fine piece!

Thanks Tobi! So true that Messina Mine pieces that are nice and with a reasonable price and have not been polished are far and few between.
