Item Description
An impresssive, 5.0 cm, sharply terminated, highly lustrous, water-clear quartz crystal is included with lustrous, metallic molybdenite flecks and is aesthetically attached to the massive quartz matrix. Molybdenite flecks are also visible within the quartz matrix. Ex Dick Hauck Collection. Dick bought these from collector Terry Szenics, who found them in Chile in about 2004. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only a tiny wilber on the termination. A very fine 360-degree small cabinet combination rarity from this very obscure locale. Seldom on the market. The last piece from the small lot we received.
