Item Description

A fantastic and adorable combination from the famous White Queen Mine and the Bob Trimingham Collection. An aesthetic "V" of two glassy, transparent to translucent, terminated quartz crystals is crowned by a striking bundle of sub-parallel, oxide-tinted, cleavelandite blades. The sculptural quality and color contrast is surreal! A must for the species or San Diego County pegmatite collector. Probably older material, but no proof.
