APZ21 Quartz incl. Cookite and Tremolite
Obira mine, Ono-gun, Oita prefecture, Kyushu Region, Japan
8.5x 2.2x 1.9 cm

A quartz crystal included by hairy (tremolite?) and some cookeite spheres.  

It seems that the first generation (which now constitutes the internal phantom) was included heavily with tremolite.  Cookeite spheres deposited on its surface, and then a second generation of quartz grew over all that, creating what you see here.

This was the largest single crystal available.

A beautiful and unusual example of rare Japanese material.
