Item Description
An exquisite and dramatically sculptural 360-degree diverging spray of olive-green hedenbergite-included lustrous, translucent quartz crystals from circa 2012 finds at the now-famous remote Huanggang Mine of Inner Mongolia. The striking large central point is 6.1 cm long. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. The two broken points at the base have healed tips and the bruised tip to a small side car on one side is certainly only a modest detraction. See the 2012 Mineralogical Record China-IV Special Issure, Vol. 43, No. 5. Ex Dr. Steve Smale Collection. Steve has assembled one of the world's finest private collections and is also a world renowned mathematician. He collects only exceptional quality specimens.
