Item Description

This is a very unusual quartz, even in a world of collecting that is frankly drowning in quartz specimens sometimes. It just looks "different" from others, and features this central tower of quartz, 2 inches tall (5 cm), just standing straight up from a pocket of small crystals. It is a unique "pocket find" that was a stroke of luck, given the old age of these deposits, and is really pretty in person. Old material from the Gary Weaver collection.
