Item Description
A dramatic, sharp, lustrous, tapered 5.0 cm quartz crystal with a scepter-like termination is included with green hedenbergite. These crystals are called quartz "prases". The quartz crystal is aesthetically set with more prases (the doubly terminated crystal is 7.2 cm long), that are attached to a small matrix that is essentially solid andradite garnet crystals. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. This showy piece displays well without aid.
