The fattest crystal I obtained from a shocking new pocket of absolutely incredible, facet-quality quartzes out of Colombia! There were about a hundred crystals at the show with one dealer recently back from this place, but most had tip dings that I could not live with. This is an exceptional piece for the find, totally pristine, and with optical clarity. In PERSON IT HAS HIGHER luster than the camera can catch. The horizontal lines you see, in person, add both luster and pizzazz to the outer surface. Other than a few crystals from the famous McEarl pocket in Arkansas, I have simply not seen this outrageous clarity and brightness in quartz points before...Out of literally thousands of quartz crystals I have handled.
