This piece leaves little room for subtlety, presenting a single enormous crystal of Quartz that rises above a miniscule (by comparison) cluster of Quartz. Measuring a whopping 19.8 x 6.4 x 5.0 centimeters, the main crystal is all around pristine with a dramatic luster and completely gemmy interior. At its apex, the Quartz has a perfect shovel nose termination that descends to heavily striated side faces; some faces are so heavily striated they almost resemble steps! The underlying Quartz cluster acts as a natural podium to the main crystal, contrasting it with an orange-brown color caused by natural iron staining. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
