Item Description

A tabular quartz like no other I have seen, just fascinating in its overall form and symmetry! It is, surprisingly, complete all around, a floater, with sharp edges and no damage to speak of. The shape like a triangle is an accident of nature - it is a typical quartz shard in how it would have formed, it just ended up with a very unusual shape to our eyes. This unusual specimen just cries for you to think it is broken or carved into this shape, but its not. 280 grams
