Description

The locality is well known for thin crystals with green inclusions, but last year there was a significant discovery of Japanese Law twinned crystals. This is one of the most rare and most appreciated habits of Quartz in general - most times in less good quality, broken, dull or something else, but still of high relevance for the rare habit. The material from this isolated, small discovery shows spectacular quality - highly lustrous, water-clear and even on matrix. I had some piece, when this material came on the market, but never had one in this size and quality, so this is very exceptional! The twinned crystals are razor-sharp, in finest quality, undamaged and free-standing on well balanced matrix, which is also completely covered with sparkling regular crystals.
