Item Description

A beautiful, 4.5 cm, gem quartz crystal with a very nifty blush smoky tip and striking veils dramatically rises above the basalt matrix plate covered with sparkling quartz points and a few, very complimentary and uncommon with quartz, glassy, mint-green, spherical prehnite aggregates. Note the small bloom of some kind of pseudomorph (we think) crystals on the side of the quartz crystal. The base has been sawed to enhance the fine display quality of either side. Pristine. First class, very aeshetic combination material from the Brandberg. Valued at $425.
