Item Description

A sculptural and aesthetic large combination from the famous Pederneira Mine. Two, pristine, limpid, glassy, sharply terminated quartz crystals are beautifully set on either end of the quartz and lepidolite matrix. Both quartz crystals are 5.4 cm long. Striking, dense jackstraw clusters of pearlescent cleavelandite blades separate the quartz crystals which are nicely accented by the single 8 mm teal-green tourmaline crystal. The noted contacting on one end has negligible impact to the high quality of this fine combination. Well-crystallized quartz and cleavelandite combinations of this quality are RARE from here.
