Item Description
A striking, gem-like, Herkimer quartz "diamond" crystal cluster from the famous deposits at Middleville, New York. The large crystal is doubly terminated, as are several of the smaller "diamonds". The termination of the large crystal is razor sharp and is complete all-around. The internal crazing and clay inclusions really add character to this aesthetic specimen. The frontal display view is totally pristine and the contacting on the back with a bit of matrix is out of sight. Ex Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection and comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $100 as a free bonus.
