Item Description
A most unusual large specimen with a 2.5-cm brazilianite crossing the termination of a gorgeous, jewel-like quartz crystal, totally water-clear and perched in albite and muscovite matrix. The quartz measures about 8.0 cm tall and its termination is freestanding save for the crossing brazilianite atop. The brazilianites cascading down the matrix beside the quartz crystal add pizzazz. A VERY dramatic and unusual specimen! Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $175, for free. An excellent spiker. Valued at $2000 overall. From finds around 2007-2008
