Item Description

A very cute trio of clear, bi-pyramidal quartz crystals from Dalnegorsk. While this isn't a big specimen, it is sharp and complete. The only blemish is a small contact on the backside where a 4th quartz crystal used to be attached. Many collectors of these floater quartz clusters know that many were found with a light green hue because of hedenbergite inclusions. This one is lacking the hedenbergite inclusions but because of that, it is transparent and not cloudy. NOTE THE SIZE OF THIS - it is very small, with crystals under 1 centimeter. However, it is just such a cute gem, it stands on its own for quality. From the thumbnail collections of Chris Stefano and Alex Venzke.
