Item Description

An attractive Quartz specimen from the famous K.D. Pocket (mined in the 1990s) featuring dozens upon dozens of very sharp, lustrous, prismatic white / colorless Quartz crystals measuring up to 5.2 cm long covering multiple sides of this three-dimensional display piece. The main crystal is aesthetically flaring up at the top-most portion of the piece, creating a very striking presentation. Virtually damage free on the display side and very eye-catching. Some of the crystals show a rarely seen (for Colorado) tapered habit, similar to a Tessin / Ticino habit or possibly the Muzo habit, but still slightly different. If you like crystal morphology, or if you're a fan of habits of Quartz crystals do not pass this one up. 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. Priced at $950 in the inventory. 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.
