Quartz w/ Baryte (Chet Lemanski Coll.)

Item Description

A striking porcupine quill cluster of water-clear gem quartz points with lightly frosted faces forms a very aesthetic and sculptural large 360-degree piece. The longest crystal is 6.3 cm. Some of the quartz crystals are dramatically accented with glassy, tabular, barite spearpoints adding artistic flair to the piece. The bit of included hematite adds much color and contrast. These quartz crystals compare very favorably to the finest from Arkansas, France or Peru, plus they have barite! Expertly collected the piece is pristine. This dramatic quartz hedgehog looks great from any direction. This is a world-class quartz-barite combination specimen. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection and acquired in 2003. Classic from the 1990s finds
