RM3646   Hyaline quartz and pyrite
SiO₂
  -  4. Oxides and hydroxides

This specimen was thought as Bourg d'Oisans sample, although, based on its appearance and paragenesis, it is most likely one of the specimens from the La Gardette area, close to Bourg d'Oisans. It shows a rich group of very elongated, hyaline quartz crystals with the "dauphiné" habit. It is accompanied by various pyrite crystals. A highly aesthetic piece from a classic locality that should be a must-have in any collection.

Size: 8.5 x 6.2 x 5.4 cm.
