Quartz

Item Description

A show Quartz specimen from the famous K.D. Pocket near the town of Ouray, Colorado. The piece was mined in the 1990s and features a predominant, sharp, lustrous, prismatic white / colorless Quartz crystal which plays host to a pair of doubly-terminated Quartz crystals at the base. The tips of the crystals very gemmy. Virtually damage free on the display side and very eye-catching. If you like crystal morphology, or if you're a fan of habits of Quartz crystals this is a cool piece to add to your collection. Additionally, if you're a Colorado collector, or a Quartz collector, this is a great opportunity to add an attractive display piece from an uncommon locality in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado to your collection. From the collection of Gary Weaver of Prescott, Arizona (1944-2019). Gary was an electrical engineer who worked for many years for Hughes Aircraft in California. After retiring to Prescott, Arizona in the early 2000s, Gary rekindled his childhood love of minerals, amassing a collection of roughly 2000 specimens focusing on localities in which he and his wife had lived or visited (Mexico, Peru and the western / southwestern United States).
