Item Description

Striking, glassy, water-clear to translucent, parallel-growth quartz crystals form an impressive, large specimen from this obscure Arkansas locale, well-known among locals. The terminations of the three large crystals are water-clear, with some internal veils, while the lower portions are translucent. The terminations of the two largest crystals are pristine, except the second crystal has a tiny bit of edge wear. Portions of the sides were contacted against other crystals, but this remains a dramatic and large specimen. Rarely on the market from this locale and compares very favorably with localities in Garland County or others in Montgomery County. NOTE the pink sticky label will peel off...but was put on by the original collection owner to be sure all his locality info stayed intact with the pieces. 9.9 pounds or 4.5 kilos.
