Item Description

A very hard to find Cornish Quartz specimen from St Dennis featuring a group of sharp, lustrous, translucent, rich smoky colored pyramidal crystals measuring up to 1.2 cm on banded Quartz matrix. There are a few minor nicks/chips, but overall the piece is in good condition. These are virtually unseen on the market today, and certainly worth picking up if you're a worldwide Quartz collector or a fan of minerals from Cornwall.
From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974.
