This bizarre, brilliantly lustrous quartz point was purchased by colelctor A.L. Stevens from Wards Science Establishment on June 16, 1922, according to his own label. This label, the old Wards label, and the two museum labels shown are included. As he noted, it has strange faces on the front that are highly unusual and really leap out dramatically. Nearly pristine, its also a display specimen of some quality. "Gemmi" could mean a locality or simply that it was gemmy clear, but that is a guess. We do not have a specific locale.
