Quartz ("Herkimer Diamond") (ex Dr. Miguel Romero Collection)

Item Description

These are some of the most well-known Quartz specimens in the world. This is a very attractive set of thumbnails specimens consisting of WATER-CLEAR, razor sharp, highly lustrous, doubly-terminated "stubby" "floater" crystals. Both specimens are nearly perfect (perhaps a tiny nick is the only imperfections I can see) and they are superb quality for the material. Some minor hydrocarbon inclusions can be seen as well. From the collection of Senator / Dr. Miguel Romero of Teuhuacan, Mexico.
