Description

Smoky Quartz Plate
Brazil

Quartz is one of the most ubiquitous minerals on Earth and is popular for its rich coloration and sharp form. This considerable decorative plate features dozens of various-sized, dark irradiated gemmy Quartz crystals tightly arranged for maximum aesthetic appeal. Measuring 43 inches (110 cm) at its widest dimension, this dramatic plate showcases substantial crystals with a brownish-black hue, well-formed faces and terminations, and intense luster. There is slight contact damage to some of the points, which is expected with such a large decorative specimen. The dark and moody plate is attractive, and examples of this size are not commonly seen on the market. This offering stands out as an exceptional treasure and is sure to be a center of attention in any room or décor if for no other reason than it is enormous.
Measurements: 43.00 x 21.00 x 17.00 inches (109.22 x 53.34 x 43.18 cm)
