Item Description

Glassy and gemmy, colorless, "beta" quartz crystals, to 1.1 cm in length are surrounded by brilliantly lustrous, black, hematite crystals, to 9 mm across. This is a startling contrast, and there is a reason why these are so classic and desired among collectors - the combination is really quite unique in this style. This is a superb piece with TOP luster, comparable to others we have seen around the block at $1000 and more. It is THAT good....better in person!
