Item Description
A classic example of the so-called "cactus Quartz" from late 1990s/2000-ish finds in South Africa! This is a really balanced and attractive example with great shape, glistening luster, and a central complete crystal of about 8 cm tall. These are not really on the market much, anymore, and only come out of old collections. For the size, this is a really good one! Such pieces are sometimes seen at shows, although not often, for around $2000-3000.
