Item Description
A rare and striking combination specimen from recent Chinese finds. A water-clear, doubly terminated, floater quartz crystal is very richly included with a striking, 1.4 cm graphite pod and scattered graphite (carbon) flecks. Complete all-around, this sharp, flattened, pseudohexagonal crystal is nearly pristine, with only trivial termination wear and one spot of sidewear. This is one of the more dramatic such examples we have seen of this rare quartz with graphite inclusions. Ex Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection.
