A STRIKING and DRAMATIC CABINET plate of two generations of lustrous, water-clear quartz crystals growing on black, sphalerite crystals from the Taxco, Mexico. The longest quartz crystal is 3.0 cm and the 2nd generation porcupine quartz needle clusters are really attractive. Very minor damage, overall, for such a large specimen. A cloth label is affixed to the back of the specimen. 14.3 x 6.8 x 5.2 cm
