Description
Here we have a striking Quartz specimen from Boekenhouthoek of Mpumalanga in South Africa. And this unusual specimen stands out for several reasons, and came in a small find which was brought out in 2008. The crystal is a HUGE example of the rare Japan Law Twin habit of Quartz - just astonishing in size. Also, it is interesting because only these kind of Japan Law twin I have seen with multiple generations of Quartz coating the original twin, which gives it a unique and sparkly appearance. The original owner and finders labeled it as "Chalcedony pseudomorph after Quartz," but it really seems to be the original Quartz twin, simply under a drapery of sparkling, translucent, faintly-coloured Chalcedony which came on as a second layer. Chalcedony is the term for amorphous, uncrystallized Quartz. This is a KILLER PIECE ALL THE WAY and definitely suitable for highest demands. Valued in our stock with € 3800,00.
