Description

A lovely miniature featuring a mint herkimer quartz crystal grown atop of calcite within a candid white marble vug.
The crystal features glass clear transparency, to the point that the botton of the quartz can be seen through. Some edges appear rounded, as the crystal seems somehow not fully terminated.

A little jewel from the Carrara marble basin, increasingly rare in this quality and size since a few years. The specimen has been sawn for better display. 

It dates back to the late 90s, increasingly scarce to find in this size and quality.
