Item Description
Artistically intergrown limpid quartz crystals look like faceted jewels on this very fine example from this less well-known Herkimer quartz "diamond" locale. The striking, 4.8 cm, doubly terminated crystal is the focal point of this beauty. The sharp terminations are stunning in their simplicity. The bit of included pyrobitumen is a nifty accent. Complete all-around and pristine. A single contact on one face, where another crystal once lay, is not damage, per se. A fascinating 360-degree cutie!
