The suite of Oranje River quartz was one of Charlie's prides, built up over 20 years as this locality steadily produced a trickle each year. This is one of the most dramatic pieces, I fnot the largest (we have plates to 12 inches!), featuring the most intense red coloring due to hematite inclusions. It is a pristine and lustrous specimen with excellent 3-dimensionality and form, much more apparent in person. The largest crystal is 8 cm. Comes with custom lucite display base.
