Seriphos Quartz

The Seriphos Quartz can only be found in Seriphos in Greece. Seriphos is a small island, in the Cyclades island group in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Athens. It is apple to olive green, and this green colour comes from inclusions of the fibrous mineral Hedenbergite. There is a couple of those for sale at Gemoholic.
This Cactus Amethyst is one of the most amazing mineral specimen. Did you know that Cactus Quartz/Amethyst can only be found in one place, which is Magaliesberg in South Africa? It is near Johannesburg, and a friend of ours lives there. When we visited the last time I had no idea that that is the place to find these wonderful crystals.
