Item Description
A dramatic and aesthetic cluster of variably sized quartz crystals from the famous mines at Santa Eulalia. The lustrous, transparent to translucent crystals are lightly frosted/etched have a nifty, preferential, overgrowth of calcite rhombs. The long quartz is 9 cm, a striking, elongated scepter is on the left and two crystals on the lower front are doubly terminated, the longest at 6.5 cm. This very fine cluster is complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only one barely noticeable broken crystal at the base. Exceptional and rare in this form, this fine quartz is from the Dick Heck Collection.
