Item Description
Quartz specimens of this impressive quality are relatively uncommon from "near" the well-known Iron Cap Mine of Arizona. This CABINET specimen is highlighted by the dramatic, rare for the locale, 9.3 cm quartz bowtie. Another bowtie is next to it and the upright isolated crystal is a nifty accent. The larger crystals have a pleasing pink tint to them, probably from iron oxides. The bit of periphery wear on one side is a modest detraction. This striking piece displays very nicely from two views. Ex Evan Jones Arizona Collection. Unusual!
