| I forgot to mention how wonderful the rhodo from Osarizawa Mine is. Really beautiful specimen from a not so common locality. And I could not decide which side is the front and which is the back. Great piece!

Thanks Tobi! The dealer had it displayed vertically so you could see both sides. He called it "The Fin".

|
|
| Mineral: | Quartz (variety chalcedony) |
| Locality: | | Mount Jerusalem, Mullumbimby, Byron Shire, Northern Rivers Region, New South Wales, Australia | |
|
| Dimensions: | 9.6 x 8.9 cm |
| Description: |
Description from the dealer:
A large “dragon vertebrae”, thunder egg heart, from Mt Jerusalem, NSW. The name dragon verterbrae, comes from the description the local people give to these specimens. Interestingly this location is not listed on Mindat, but the location is accurate. This is a translucent mauve chalcedony quartz specimen, that was once the heart of a large thunder egg, over a long period, the outer section of the thunder egg has eroded away, leaving these interesting pieces. This is a great sized example of this form of quartz. |
