TD16H8: The crystal is doubly terminated and has the short prism typical of the locality. It is transparent and bright and has attractive inclusions of hydrocarbons and the beginning of “windows” on some of its terminal faces. We call attention on the position of the crystal on the matrix that enhances the esthetics of the specimen as well as increases its value because specimens of Quartz with matrix are pretty unusual in Berbes. This specimen was photographed and published in the magazine "Lapis" number 7-8 / 2013, page 23
