This is another large cluster with a miraculously well preserved dominant large crystal, approx. 12 x 8 x 7 cm in size, perched in a cluster. This crystal has a razor-sharp termination youc an cut yourself on, and is pristine except only the slightest of wear you can barely feel with your finger on one edge, and a few trivial dings on one back edge that are nearly invisible anyhow. As with the other large matrix crystals here, it is hard to explain the care that must be taken to extract these heavy plates without damage to the tips. Although Arkansas quartz is common enough in lower quality specimens, specimens of this caliber are NOT readily available and never have been. From the personal collection of mine owner Ron Coleman.
