Item Description

An outstanding and very aesthetic combination floater specimen from the famous 1993-94 finds at Brumado. The striking, doubly terminated, water-clear quartz crystal hosts numerous, sharp, very gemmy, bottle-green uvite tourmaline crystals to 1.2 cm. A few uvites are almost fully included in the quartz crystal. Both of the strikingly different quartz terminations host a few small, classic, colorless, magnesite rhombs. Nearly pristine, a few gently bruised uvites are noted and the quartz is pristine. Ex Richard Hauck Collection and comes with a Roberts Minerals label with a $250 price tag. Ken handled most of this find. Valued today at $600-750. Seldom on the market today in this quality, except from recycled advanced collections.
