This is a dramatic, doubly-terminated floater crystal (17 x 5 x 5 cm) with an attached cluster draping its midpoint, itself all a floater and terminated all around. The quality is mesmerizingly good, clean and sharp and glassy in luster! The piece is pristine save for the tiniest of a surface nick (2mm) that you cannot even see in the photo, on one back face only; and for a few other almost infinitesimal dings you can only see if you look very hard for them. It is remarkable, considering the exposure the piece must have had in the pocket, to get a crystal such as this in such good condition....this piece is one I obviously value highly but the reason is simply this: its one of the few Arkansas quartz crystals I have seen that, on any merits, stands head to head with swiss and Brazilian material on a single crystal basis and deserves to be in a world class collection for this reason.
