OK, Quartz is common. You can get it anywhere, right? But, I would argue that fantastic quartz specimens, even just "normal clear quartz," can be spectacular and deserve a place in any collection. They also impress the laymen much more than all our fancier species tend to. This is a REALLY REALLY NICE and totally perfect large crystal of spectacular gemminess and brightness for the size. It is pristine on the big crystal, and with just a few dings on the sidecars. It is a heavy, LARGE specimen that has great visual impact and deserves to be on its own pedestal or table for display. Personally, I am usually not a big fan of large quartz specimens, having seen tables and tables of them in the past. But every now and then, one stands out, and grabs me as I walk by what is often damaged material just for decorative purposes. This piece was mined in 2009.
