Item Description

Herkimer quartz "diamond" crystals of this impressive size are very uncommon. This floater cluster is dominated by a huge, glassy, doubly terminated crystal with a crackly interior, that gives off beautiful rainbows in any light. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only very trivial termination bruising and out of sight contacting on the back, with virtually no damage, per se. A rare monster quartz "diamond" from the Howard Belsky Collection. In New York, these things go for huge money. Wordlwide, I admit it is a mixed reception. All I can say is that, for this locale, its a very important and large crystal, valued $900
