A superb specimen from the famous Carrara Marble quarries of Italy, which have produced an amazing number of mineral species. A water-clear, 1.6 cm, gemmy, Herkimer-style (gem and doubly-terminated) quartz crystal is attractively set in a deep cleft lined with drusy quartz in the snow-white marble. Ex. Fred Pough and George White Collections. George M. White was appointed Architect of the Capitol (Washington D.C.) by President Nixon in 1971.
