Item Description

A VERY SHOWY Romanian specimen of two, "rabbit-ears"-looking, glassy, milky quartz stalks topped by quartz scepters on a matrix of smaller quartz crystals and sphalerite. The two scepters are pleasingly pristine and the specimen is nicely accented with a dusting of calcite crystals. This older piece is probably from the famous mines of Maramures County and hails from the Richard Hauck Quartz Collection. Sceptered quartz is RARE in this quality from Maramures County and this is an excellent example.
