Item Description
A beautiful, sharply terminated, transparent, gem quartz crystal is stunningly included with sugary albite and rests on a stalk of the same albite. The "garden effect" looking through all of the prism faces is truly surreal. Portions of the quartz are actually doubly terminated. It looks like a scepter! Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only very trivial termination edge wear. One face on the back of the quartz is contacted, but has no damage, per se. A spectacular and highly unusual Minas Gerais quartz! Valued at $450. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
