AN AESTHETIC and MOST UNUSUALLY-SHAPED, translucent, colorless quartz crystal from the famous Bor Quarry at Dalnegorsk, Russia. These crystals are unique to the Bor Quarry. Quartz crystal growth was interrupted by calcite, as evidenced by stacked, poker chip-looking section in the middle of the crystal. Quartz dissolved and replaced the calcite and the crystal continued to grow to the termination. This unique piece is complete all-around, with only slight contacting on the back, near the termination. 8.2 x 2.5 x 2.1 cm
