Item Description

Quartz is VERY RARE from this well-known Viburnum Trend lead-zinc mine. The sculptural, undulating large plate is covered with glassy, translucent quartz crystals with a sugary appearance. The crystals are, in fact, peppered with sparkly quartz microcrystals. Ex David Ellis Collection. A rare and desirable large specimen for the locality or species collector.
