Description/Interesting Notes:
An incredible, unique example of quartz from Finland!!! This specimen exhibits highly unusual quartz crystals on matrix!!! Although
previous label describes the crystals as "pseuo-octahedral", when viewed from certain angles the crystals appear to have a
beta-quartz like form as well!!! Even more remarkable than their overall habit is the crystals' unusually rounded features!!! Upon
close inspection it is immediately apparent that this is not due to any kind of "polishing" or even naturally occuring wear!!! The
rounded features are completely natural, original CRYSTALLINE features!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or a scope one can see all kinds of unusual
and detailed features!!! The crystals measure up to 2cm and have a handsome smoky hue with marked clarity and flashy play of light within!!!
Given their unusual appearance, one might even mistake these crystals for another species but make no mistake - these ARE
quartz crystals, and they are some of the most unique quartz crystals I have seen!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 5th!!!
