A huge, dramatic, two-sided, large cabinet, Chinese plate covered with striking, yellow, iron-stained, water-clear quartz crystals on one side and much smaller, drusy quartz-covered quartz crystals on the other side. The quartz crystals reach about 5-6 cm. The yellow iron stain is not your typical red iron oxide stain and makes for a very showy large piece. Highly representative, very large material from an uncommon Chinese locality for quartz. Weighs 10.8 pounds or 4.9 kilograms.
