This is a petite 0.9 oz, 1.4” by 1” by 0.95” point of Brazilian quartz. A very thin secondary growth of quartz has pinned the colorful russet hematite in an irregular pattern surrounding the crystal. The russet varies in light and dark color with a few white accents and dark hematite inclusions. The termination is a Dow (alternating faces of seven and three sides) and Lemurian lines grace the sides. The terminal faces bear a small lightning strike, some rectangular glyphs and a sparse stargazer druse! A druse of tiny smoky quartz nearly covers the slanted healed base. He is a fascinating study that will keep you and your loupe busy for a long time! And this is proof that the crystal doesn’t have to be big to be super special!
