Item Description

Sparkly, microcrystalline chlorite coats and lightly etches the sharp, water-clear, quartz crystals on this very aesthetic cluster from an unknown Swiss locale. The striking large crystal is 7.0 cm and is doubly terminated! Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only trivial termination wear on the large quartz and a very modest bit of periphery wear. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. A classic and excellent specimen of this varietal from the well known suite amassed by Belsky as a dealer and collector before his untimely passing in 1987.
