Item Description
Large quartz crystals of this fine quality are uncommon from this well-known Arizona locale. This impressive large translucent crystal has frosted and stepped-growth faces. The smaller crystals surrounding the base really add pizzazz. The primary termination has a trivial bit of edge wear and the embedded crystal near the termination is broken. A bit of bruising to some of the smaller crystal tips is also noted. Overall the piece is in fine conditon. This remains a large, uncommon, unusual and excellent example of the species and locale. Old material, Bob Trimingham acquired this piece in 1960! A MUST for the Arizona or species collector.
