Quartz Gwindel - Rare Locality
For Brazil., this is a crazy thing!!! I have never seen a gwindel of this magnitude from Brazil, and this comes from the collection of a prominent gem dealer who lives in the region, and whom I trust completely as to its provenance. The ironic thing, of course, is that a large gwindel of this quality would cost MORE if from the Swiss Alps. The piece is 5 inches tall by 4 inches wide and 3 deep, as it sits on a custom base. It is dramatic and good from both sides. Complete all around, with a very pronounced twist, this is a major piece! It comes with well-known gem dealer Brian Cook's handwritten notes about it on his business card, where he says there were 8 found, in 1985-1987 at this location. It has been in his private collection for 25 years until now. Joe Budd Photos
