Item Description
Lathes of ivory-colored cervantite with a scattering of metallic stibnite needles dramatically fill this water-clear sharply terminated quartz crystal. Cervantite is an uncommon multiple antimony oxide. A surreal 360-degree thumbnail cutie. Essentially pristine, with on barely noticeable termination edge wear (with a loupe). Rare older combination included quartz from this less well-known Nevada locale. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and obtained in 1972.
