Item Description
A stunning, water-clear, sharply terminated, quartz "obelisk" is beautifully accented with a nifty protruding wreath of sparkly, brass-yellow, pyrite microcrystals over sphalerite from the famous Panasqueira Mine of Portugal. The quartz is complete all-around, nearly pristine, with only very trivial edgewear. Classic and superlative combo material from this famed locale and comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $100 as a free bonus.
