Item Description

An utterly fascinating and weird looking included quartz crystal from Brazil. The lustrous, transparent, sharply terminated crystal has very strange looking stacked layers of nubby kaolinite with scattered reddish-brown hematite tinting. The contacted back side is out-of-sight in the pristine display view. The four frontal faces have been lightly buffed to accentuate the bizarre patterns. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and from the collection of Mr. & Mrs Francis Marshall of San Franciso, according to his label. A MUST for the quartz or locality collector.
