Item Description

A dramatic, rare and superlative datolite and quartz combination from famed Dal'negorsk. A dynamic, limpid, 6.3 cm, sharply terminated quartz crystal is beautifully set in the mounded matrix of intergrown, glassy, translucent, euhedral, mint-green datolite crystals. Both the quartz crystal and the datolite are pristine on this outstanding 360-degree rarity. The broken nub of another quartz crystal is noted next to the amazing singular quartz, but certainly has negligible impact to the unique combination quality of this stunning specimen from the Herb Obodda Collection # 3176. Easily valued at $1500-2000 for uniqueness.
