Quartz "hedgehog" (RARE Mexico) Robertson Coll.

Item Description

An extraordinary and RARE large old quartz crystal "hedgehog" from this famous deep canyon area in Chihuahua. Mineral specimens of any species are rare from here and well-crystallized quartz is EXTREMELY RARE. Glassy quartz points to over 5.5 cm project out in all directions on this dramatic 360-degree specimen. Ex Kay Robertson Collection # 2446 and acquired from Brad van Scriver in May 1962, the year he became a mineral dealer! Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017). This outstanding and rare old quartz displays well without aid and every turn presents a different perspective. A MUST for the quartz or locality collector.
