Skeletal quartz (more popularly known as Elestial Quartz or Jacare Quartz) exhibits unique internal and external dissolution-growth features resulting from unstable conditions during crystallization. Skeletal quartz crystals often form with a geometric pattern of lines, depressions and raised terminations. This fine large cabinet "Elestial" amethyst specimen has a multitude of glassy, water-clear crystals on the very sculptural, 3-dimensional multitude of quartz crystals matrix. Rarely do you see an "Elestial" of this quality from the Deer Hill District of Maine. Ex. Robert Whitmore Collection.
