Wow Mike, an awesome specimen of red quartz from Dalnegorsk! As both a quartz fan and a Dalnegorsk fan I know that these specimens are highly sought after, and such a large and good one is hard to get. A superb Dalnegorsk classic, I love it!

Nice Wölsendorf classic, good colour! And the cavities seem to be part of a perimorph, do you know more about it?
