Quartz

15.9 x 5.4 x 4.2 cm. A large sceptred quartz crystal from Brazil. Wrapped around the milky coated "inner" crystal is a lustrous second-generation crystal, terminated on both ends. The bottom termination, wrapping around the inner crystal, is a series of crenellated sub-terminations. At the other end is the typical quartz termination, except that the faces show very marked skeletal growth.
