Item Description
A sparkling, VERY lustrous quartz crystal is host to a few intense yellow lepidolites here. The quartz is doubly terminated and is complexly terminated by parallel growth tips, hence the nickname for this style in Brazil of "cathedral quartz". VERY pretty specimen, not quite as commo nas you might assume from the pics and photos, in person. 188 grams
