Item Description

We have never seen anything quite like this shimmering piece that looks like sugary blue syrup was poured over a plate of quartz crystals. This is an eyecatching large (14 cm!) specimen of gorgeous sky blue plancheite coating Quartz crystals (many of which are doubly-terminated) in what seems half of a natural pocket or cavity containing them. The largest of these coated Quartz crystals is a 1.8 cm. Then, drusy quartz was deposited lightly atop to give the piece a fabulous sugary sparkle, which cannot be adequately captured in the pics. They only give a hint. As good as the pics are, I promise you that this amazing specimen is ten times better in person and a VERY unique object in your case. Easily worth $1,500-2000
