Item Description

A striking large elbaite and quartz combination from a NEW FIND at this renowned locale. A 4.1 cm, gem, pretty bottle-green elbaite crystal is dramatically set on the side of an amazing and sculptural cluster of large, glassy light smoky quartz quartz scepters with frosted faces along with sections of more elbaites. The impressive fat scepter and stalk is 8.3 cm tall and the two large nearby scepters (both doubly terminated) reach 9.0 cm. The translucent scepters have fascinating skeletal and fenster features in the termination faces. The elbaite has trivial lower periphery wear and amazingly, all of the large scepters and nearby smokies appear to be pristine. Periphery wear and contacting are noted, but certainly have only minimal impact to the overall high displayability of this very dramatic 360-degree piece. Excellent large combination material from this new find. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! valued $1250-1500
