Item Description
A striking and sculptural plate of quartz crystals colored a deep, fire brick-red by hematite. The luster is excellent, and the largest crystal is about 3.5 cm. The phantoms inside the water-clear terminations are stunning. Both large crystal terminations are gently bruised and the periphery wear is noted. This remains a showy and excellent two-sided example of the species from this locale. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
