Description

Quartz (Japan Law Twin)
Ica, Peru
13.9 x 5.7 x 5.2 cm (5.47 x 2.24 x 2.05 in)

At the forefront of this specimen is a striking Japan-Law twinned Quartz crystal that is completely colorless and has a strong level of transparency-a quality that is not seen all too often from this locality. The twinned crystal is topped with nice terminations on both branches and is naturally propped up by a group of tapering Quartz crystals that reach across (and into) the back of the specimen. A contact and point of previous attachment are visible on the front of the display, but both have been recrystallized.

From the collection of Daniel "Dan" R. Kennedy.

More Information: This piece is in excellent condition with some mild edge chatter hidden to the back and under sides of the specimen.
