Quartz (superb quality) (382 grams)

Item Description

Of the countless thousands of localities for Quartz around the world, a select few stand out as being the finest sources for the species extant. The famous Quartz crystals from various localities in Garland County, Arkansas are regarded among the most impressive specimens ever found, which is saying something for a species that is literally found in almost every rock environment around the world. Recently The McEarl Ridge Prospect has been producing some truly world-class examples of Quartz with large single crystal of impeccable quality and clarity. There are few places on earth where Quartz is as good as the McEarl specimens. This particular piece is a stunning, OPTIC grade, completely colorless, razor-sharp, highly lustrous single prism of this famed material. The piece is undamaged, save the base where it detached from the pocket wall. When the crystal is viewed in sunlight, the hundred of small striations along the prism faces act as diffractors for the light, creating gorgeous glowing rainbow bursts of color. Textbook form, outstanding quality and excellent size make this a MUST have for any fan of gem crystals, worldwide Quartz or simply high quality specimens. Priced in our inventory at $4,000.
