MV66AM5: A novelty at Tucson Virtual 2021. Original-looking fan-shaped growths of translucent Quartz crystals, with good luster and an intense pink color, on matrix. The pink color is not due to inclusions of iron oxides but is rather their natural color. The precise name of the mine is not yet known, but will surely become known with the passage of time.
Huancayo Province, Junín Department Peru (2020)
Specimen size: 5.8 × 5 × 4.4 cm = 2.28” × 1.97” × 1.73”
Main crystal size: 0.9 × 0.2 cm = 0.35” × 0.08”
