Item Description

A very nifty specimen of two, intergrown, stacked clusters of flattened, water-clear, doubly terminated, faden quartz crystals from Pakistan. A distinctive faden or "string" can be seen running the length of each cluster. The piece is highlighted by the 2.2 cm, jauntily angled crystal at the termination and by the striking, 2.7 cm, lone spike at the base. A fine 360-degree and pristine piece. Ex Marty Lewadny Collection
