A large and fine specimen of red quartz from recent finds on the Namibian side of the Orange River - not only showing the beautiful red color that some quartzes from there have shown due to rich hematite inclusions, but also showing dramatic sceptering. The red cap has wrapped itself around a colorless euhedral crystal that is clearly visible as the "stalk." This central crystal is surrounded by smaller accenting crystals of red quartz. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
