Item Description
Quartz specimens from the well-known Warren Brothers Quarry in Massachusetts are very rare and are seldom on the market. This sharply terminated, translucent crystal has two unusual generations of secondary drusy quartz overgrowth. The first generation of fine drusy quartz covered the entire point. The second generation of nubby drusy quartz preferentially covered only three sides of the crystal, from the direction of fluid flow. An interesting phenomena that generated a showy and most unusual, rare quartz from this locale. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, having only one spot of gentle side wear. Ex Schlichter Collection. A must for the locality or species collector.
