Item Description

Madan has produced some amazing and excellent combination specimens and this large piece dramatically fits the bill. Spectacular, intergrown, radial sprays of quartz crystals look like a colony of sea anemones! The quartz crystal "arms" have a very nifty accenting preferential overgrowth of tan, sugary, drusy quartz. Very aesthetically set on top of the anemones and scattered about are striking, lustrous, melted-look, galena cuboctahedrons. This is certainly among the showiest large combination specimens we have seen from Madan. 3.5 pounds or 1.6 kilos. Value??
