This is a gloriously aesthetic specimen of French quartz, in colorless, transparent, parallel growth, with arching and descending crystal size. The quartz, has a distinct faden, or thread, which goes right through the length of the specimen. In fact every quartz crystal is doubly terminated. This is a rare form and style for a French locality. From the quartz and french collections of Francis Benjamin.
