Item Description

A rare, very fine, large floater cluster of three doubly terminated quartz crystals from Ontario, Canada. When was the last time you saw a fine quartz from Lyndhurst in such size? These intergrown crystals are lustrous and translucent. The side faces are frosted and all six terminations are glassier and gemmier. You can clearly see at least three phantoms inside of the six terminations. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only the most trivial of termination wear. Old-time exceptional material from the James Dobo Collection (1964 date on label) and Richard Hauck Quartz Collection. Very rare and fine in this large size.
