Another (more normal-sized for most collections!) striking roseate cluster, complete all around, of gemmy, brilliant and clear quartz points that just is mesmerizing in person. It is incredibly 3-dimensional, so that its hard to hold without risking a slice to the finger from a sharp point shooting g out in some direction. The brilliant luster, the gem clarity to the dominant crystal - absolutely top notch! the pictures do NOT do this one justice. Yes, the price seems high for an Arkansas quartz BUT measure out the size, consider tha tthis is absolutely pristine, and start thinking about how few pieces of such size and caliber you can honestly say to have seen out there. Its not as many as you first think! Common or not, I regard Arkansas quartz as a national classic, and something worthy of being in any collection, even the most sophisticated. The trick, however, is finding those special pieces in the top tenth of a tenth of a percentile that stand out to the eye as being above the run of the mill. This piece, I just cannot emphasize enough, is that special. In person, its obviously more impressive, too. From the personal collection of mine owner Ron Coleman.
