Quartz (Var: Smoky Quartz), Quartz (Var: Amethyst)
Shaw and Esrey's Quarry, Chester Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, USA
9.2 x 6.8 x 2.0 cm. A surreal shard-like quartz with amethyst protrusions, smoky body, and elegant form. Also, the locality is interesting. We are pretty sure the label is from the 1800s. A fine piece of course, regardless of locale, but the locality is a bonus for a Pennsylvania collector! Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
