This is one of the best, most perfect, terminated crystals of "Strawberry Quartz" that I have seen for sale. It is razor-sharp and has excellent luster. It is richly included by acicular crystals of hematite which give it a unique sparkle and color, all its own. It is almost pristine, with just trivial edge wear in a few minor spots. This material is HIGHLY valued for its carving and lapidary uses. It is extremely rarer to find a surviving specimen in this size range, thus. Moreover, it has not been brutally polished, as most are! The inclusions display just fine without the need for polishing, thank you! 5.7 x 5.5 x 4 cm
