Item Description
Every quartz crystal termination on this very aesthetic and striking specimen from a NEW find is a sceptered dipyramid, even the tiny crystals! The scepters are glassier, colorless compared to the oxide-included stalks. The dramatic 2.3 cm scepter jauntily set on the large 7.0 cm quartz is coated-with and included-with greenish chlorite. Scattered, sharp, lustrous, off-white, feldspar crystals are a super accent. An impressive, 360-degree specimen with only a few broken crystals. The large scepter is pristine. This remote skarn deposit is producing an impressive variety of fine specimens. Get good ones while you can. Who knows how long they will last.
