Yeah, yeah, I know, it's "JUST" an Arkansas quartz. But at their best, there's hardly any competition for them out there. This specimen, from the collection of Marty Zinn, just has the most graceful, slender, elegant and water-clear crystals you could ask for. It is certainly NOT the familiar slab of stumpy crystals sold by the ton in Arkansas. Super ones like this deserve a place in fine collections. In PERSON, THE CRYSTALS ARE MUCH BETTER - ABSOLUTELY WATER-CLEAR! Just hard to photograph due to reflections. 8 x 7 x 5.3 cm
