Hauck loved Arkansas quartz, who doesn't, but how to find exceptional ones amidst the crowd? Here is another killer cluster, complete all around, with a dominant gem crystal of total perfeection. It has an old Wards label, dating it to the early-1900s to maybe the 1940s. It is RAZOR sharp and clear, and is so good it looks carved. Yes, the stuff is technically sold by the pound in lower quality, but a piece like this is still once in a blue moon and NEVER sold in recent years except at a premium. In fact, they are cheaper now than at the height of the crystal healing boom of the mid 1980s when quartz was worth its weight in gold. This piece is also technically a floater, having broken off from an attachment on the bottom and rehealed/recrystallized on that bototm so it shows faces all around. This is THAT good...
