Item Description

The striking spray of glassy, translucent quartz points dramatically set atop the mounded matrix of mirror-bright, brassy pyritohedrons looks just like a headdress on this very showy and excellent combination from the Art Soregaroli Collection. The few noted bruised and broken quartz crystals and bit of periphery to the right side of the pyrites are certainly only modest detractions to this sculptural combination. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
