Item Description

A dramatic, tapered, 6-sided, quartz obelisk is filled with green actinolite variety byssolite needles on this showy specimen from Alchuri, Pakistan. The quartz crystal is transparent in its entire length (uncommon), has very nifty, stepped-growth faces and the wealth of actinolite needles gives the crystal a green tint. All of the crystal faces are glassy, with no etching/frosting. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only very trivial side wear. Exceptional material for the varietal from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
