There are Brazilian quartzes, and then there are Brazilian quartzes. This one is special. The clarity is just unbelievable, like the purest water. On the surface are subtle striations which give it a ripping beauty. And, to make it very interesting as well, this big crystal is penetrated by smaller, slender crystals with a slight iron oxide coating that gives them some color, so that you can see them jutting through the back of the crystal, from the display face in front. These are rare positive cast inclusions, quite uncommon in quartz from any locale! Ex. Michel Jactat Collection (he is a retiring French dealer) .
