Item Description
A fantastic looking and RARE quartz crystal group with inclusions from this obscure Nevada locale. This surreal piece is highlighted by the dramatically set water-clear, 6.0 cm doubly terminated pristine quartz crystal. It looks like a rocket ship or missile ready to take off from its platform! The upper portion of the water-clear, hexagonal quartz "platform" is richly included with lathes of pearlescent, ivory-colored cervantite with a scattering of metallic stibnite blades. The limpid "nose" of the rocket ship hosts some cervantite and stibnite crystals. The side car crystals add character. This is a superlative, RARE and pristine 360-degree included quartz combination from the Scott Williams Collection and probably dates to the 1960s or 70s. It displays supremely, as the base has been sawed. Ex Richard Hauck Quartz Collection.
