Two very different, very fine specimens of quartz from Brandberg. One is a fantastic scepter, very clear, standing up off a delicate "shell" of matrix, surrounded by smaller crystals. The other is a compound floater crystal that splits into a multiply-terminated fishtail at one end. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.
