Item Description

A pair of glassy, transparent, V-shaped grouping of Quartz crystals is embellished with snow-white knobs of Dickite. The Quartz crystals are colorless, transparent and mostly glassy with select faces showing a satin luster. The crystals in this aesthetic duo are 9 and 7.7 cm in length, respectively. Most of the Dickite grew later than the Quartz, however, there is some of it included in the Quartz in places indicating the two minerals grew contemporaneously at some point later in their history. It is a very interesting and attractive piece from the Mina de Arqueana pegmatite.
