Quartz

Locality: Pomba pit, Serra das Éguas, Brumado (Bom Jesus dos Meiras), Bahia, Brazil

6.8 x 6.5 x 1.1 cm. This is a brilliantly lustrous, floater crystal showing exceptional Japan law twinning form. The crystal is complete all around, a floater! It is pristine save for only 3 very tiny dings of no consequence. That little growth divot on one side is just that, and not damage (you can see faces in person). Overall, I cannot imagine a more dramatic Brazilian Japan win in this size range - and in person, it’s quite gemmier and more lustrous than it appears in photos. Quality-wise, I rank it very highly from a number of Brumado pieces I have seen over the years. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
