Item Description
An adorable, VERY RARE, quartz combination from this most obscure Herkimer quartz "diamond" locale, that is not even in Herkimer County! Four striking intergrown, facet-like, water-clear, "diamonds" are artistically set on the front of a tapered pedestal of intergrown smoky quartz crystals (possibly bitumen-included?). The stunning large capping crystal has a dramatic skeletal/fenster frontal face. This outstanding and very rare, scepter-like small cabinet is complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only very trivial bruising to the top-most termination edge (mostly on the back side). An elegant and rare specimen fairly valued at $1200. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $145, for free. BETTER IN PERSON!!
