Item Description
Highly lustrous, brown to black, prismatic brookite blades, to 1.7 cm, are aesthetically set on the curved, mounded crust of very glassy quartz crystals. A nice bonus, is that the back side of the quartz crust holds more quartz crystals. One edge of the large, parallel-growth crystal is dinged and a couple of other broken blades are noted, but are certainly only a modest detraction to this very showy and excellent combination. From the Fall, 2004 find. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued by Herb at $650, when they first came out 11 years ago.
