Item Description

Dramatic and sculptural large 360-degree cluster of intergrown Quartz crystals richly included with Schorl from this less well-known Swiss pass. The very glassy and lustrous crystals are transparent to translucent to opaque from the dense schorl inclusions. The undulating stepped-growth faces and striking opposing crystal clusters really add character to this impressive piece. Specimen mass is 1764 grams or 3.9 pounds. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $225 or more for free. Ex Brent Lockhart Swiss Collection and comes with copies of the specimen photo and Brent's label. Complete all-around and pristine. A contact lower on one side has no damage, per se. Combination specimens of this size, richness and quality are VERY RARE from here. An exceptional large quartz richly included with schorl from the Lucomagno pass, that makes for an impactful and BIG Swiss tourmaline specimen! Valued ?? We have no comparables to say!
