A DRAMATIC and STRIKING doubly terminated LARGE CABINET quartz specimen from the collection of noted Alpine collector, Rolf Wein. The terminations on the huge DT crystal are very nearly pristine, with only the very faintest edge wear on one tip. Most of the large crystal is water-clear, with portions milky or having yellowish limonite stain. The stand-alone termination even has a couple of included rutile needles. The back is nicely complimented by small, hoppered pyritohedrons and pericline crystals. From the famous Hocharn Mountain of the Rauis Valley, Austria.
