Augelite with Quartz (Japan twin)

specimen number:
80311068

location:
Tamboras mine, La Libertad, Peru

description:
Green mostly gemmy crystals of lustrous augelite to 1.2 cm in size across the front of this crystallized quartz matrix. One of the quartz crystals exhibits Japan law twinning and measures 1.0 cm across. In good condition with minor micro-chipping to some of the non-twinned quartz crystals, I still think very good for the species and neat from the combination with the twinned crystal.
