Item Description

A very good, old-time combination piece composed of a spray of golden-brown Eosphorite crystals perched on a cluster of excellent Rose Quartz crystals from 1960s-70s finds at the renowned Lavra da Ilha pegmatite located on a island in the Jequitinhonha River in Minas Gerais State. It's a stand-alone great Rose Quartz crystal cluster composed of dozens of glassy, light to medium pastel pink transparent to translucent, 1 to 2 cm crystals that diverge in several directions with great composition. The large Eosphorite rosette measures 1.8 cm across and is made up of a few dozen, translucent brown prismatic crystals in a sublime arrangement. This is a fine and rare combination piece from older finds here.
