This crystal, about the thickness of a finger, shows some excellent dark green byssolite inclusion at the interior of the crystal. The interior inclusions make for an interesting shadowy phantom. The specimen features a side-car crystal as well. Note, there is a tiny chip near the tip of the crystal (price reflects this).
The specimen comes from a newer, lesser known locality near Zeballos on Vancouver Island, British Columbia; the deposit is in a contact skarn. The crystals are often colloquially referred to as"forest quartz", due to the mossy appearance of the byssolite inclusions, making it easy to visualize a pocket of these crystals in the beautiful rain forest of B.C. Currently all collecting on the the claim has been halted pending the outcome of a court action by the local indigenous band. This makes it unlikely that we'll see new material coming from this locality any time soon.
