Item Description
A fine, CABINET cluster of water-clear, tabular, quartz crystals with a distinct faden or "string" line clearly visible running through the crystals from top to bottom. The striking, large crystal is double terminated and has beautiful beveled edges. This is a floater doubly terminated cluster and looks like a hatchet with two, sharp edges. A quartz crystal at the top of the "shaft", against the hatchet head, has a cleaved termination, but is out of sight on the back of the piece. This is indeed, a striking and very fine large specimen from this recent find. Specimens of this size and quality disappeared very quickly. Valued $900-1200
