Item Description
A most unusual quartz in that the crystals show the rare tessin style of crystallization. It is a visually unusual, immediately recognizable habit that sets these crystals apart from normal quartz forms. For more on this habit, see this link: http://www.quartzpage.de/crs_habits.html#Tessin. This specimen is a very aesthetic combination of 3 such crystals in a 3-dimensional spray. Sadly, there are a few dings in places (one tip, a front edge, back edge), but it still displays nicely.
