Item Description

A stunning, porcupine quill, mound of water-clear quartz needles to 3.0 cm hosts an aesthetically placed cluster of lustrous, sharp, jet-black, hubnerite crystals. This is actually a two-sided quartz crust, as numerous spikes poke out of the bottom of the piece. Huanzala hubnerite and quartz specimens of this quality have not seen found for 20-25 years. The quartz crystals are in super condition, as the contact is on the back. Valued at $650
