Quartz on matrix specimen from the renowned locality of Procchio, Isola d'Elba, one of Italy's most appreciated mineralogical sites. The specimen features numerous elongated prismatic quartz crystals with a characteristic yellow-amber/golden coloration, due to the presence of ferruginous inclusions typical of this locality.

The crystals develop on a whitish microcrystalline matrix with iron oxides, creating a visually appealing chromatic contrast. Several crystals show good transparency and vitreous luster, with well-defined terminations.
