Item Description
This striking, enechelon parallel-growth pair of facet-like, quartz crystals strongly resembles classic Herkimer, New York quartz "diamonds". But, they are from Spain! Both crystals are very glassy, highly lustrous and are doubly terminated. The upper gem crystal is stunningly water-clear, while the lower crystal has more interior veils. Both crystals are included with flakes of non-fluorescent bitumen (hydrocarbons), that adds character to this very fine and aesthetic pair from La Cabana. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. A fascinating and uncommon 360-degree Berbes quartz.
