Tucson, Arizona, USAFamous for long, thin, 'needle' Quartz crystals, the Da Paccio quarry at Leventina, Ticino, Switzerland is still operated for Quartz crystal specimens. This beautiful display specimen is older and presents a very slightly divergent spray of three thicker, tapering, slightly white, clouded terminated Quartz crystals around the base of which many smaller colourless 'needle' Quartz crystals radiate. The largest crystal reaches 9.4 cm in length and one of the other main crystals runs parallel up one side with the second largest crystal fanning off from the opposite side of the larger one. As a whole this group displays very nicely. The crack seen running across just above the base of this specimen is a natural structural feature, rehealed and stable. It does not sit upright for display without support, but with assistance it presents extremely well compared with most other specimens seen from this occurrence. It is from the superb systematic collection assembled by the brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021).
