Item Description
A sharply terminated, glassy, transparent to translucent, quartz strikingly accented with a canted book of pearlescent, silvery, muscovite blades and an adjacent, indicolite-blue, tourmaline shard from recent finds in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The pseudohexagonal quartz has nifty internal crazing. The termination is complete all-around, with only trivial edgewear and the contacting on the back is out of sight. A striking quartz combination piece from Brazil
