Quartz (Japan-Law Twin) with Wavellite

Item Description

Siglo XX is one of the most impressive Bolivian localities hands down. It is the type locality for many "best in the world" species, and it even produces some amazing specimens of common species like Quartz. Japan-Law twin Quartz specimens are well known in the mineral world, and this piece is a great example of said material. The specimen hosts several absolutely water-clear, razor sharp, lustrous, prismatic, colorless Quartz crystals, which are associated with white botryoidal Wavellite, but the most important apsect of the piece is an attractive Japan-Law twin measuring 1.1 cm across on the edge of the specimen. I've drawn a few red lines on the photos to actually show the defnition of some of twins the better, as the piece is very three-dmiensional and it's hard to see among the other crystals in a two-dimensional photo. The piece is very eye-catching and good quality for the material. It is certainly one of the best I have had to offer in a long time. Small cabinet display specimens of Japan-Law twin Quartzes from Siglo XX are simply not seen on the market anymore. Priced at $650 in my inventory.
