Item Description
Outstanding single, doubly-terminated Quartz crystal the likes of which I have not seen from the Erongo region. This giant 10.5 cm crystal is perfectly gem-clear, with a glass-like luster. It looks like a topaz and I would be fooled if not for the hardness test we did on it. But It LOOKS like a topaz, and its hard to convince myself otherwise. The termination is complexly etched by solution effects. Fabulous and spectacular appearance!
