     Group of quartz crystals, with developed prisms and defined  terminal faces, between transparent to translucent. With interesting  parallel growths. They are disposed very aerially on the matrix  partially dotted with kaolinite.
These specimens were collected in  this A Coruña quarry that exploits quartz, one of the main mines in the  world due to the quality and quantity of its reserves. The mine was  discovered in 1968 by three Galicians who gave their name (from their  surnames SEñarís, RAma and BALboa) to the concession and who found it  while exploring these mountains in the Pico Sacro area in search of  "seixo" (from the Galician: hard white rock) of good quality.
