When I unwrapped this cute crystal from a shipment some time ago, I was stunned. There were only a few of these and when they were packed up by my supplier, he nested them in with lodelite quartz … and I had completely forgotten that they were there. These are Brazilian in origin and so unlike the dream quartz from other areas! This one is 1.6 oz and 2.2” by 1.2” by 1.9” and in spite of first impressions, he is terminated, but keyed, all over. He has had a secondary growth of quartz over the original crystal that was chlorite eroded and covered with sparkling little rods of bright green epidote. These formed a most unusual phantom within him as well as a marvelous, flashy druse area along the sides where the secondary growth didn’t reach! He is largely misted but above the epidote phantom, he is very clear. Sides and faces bear nice glyphs and the epidote has breached the surface of the crystal all around creating a really unusual growth interference that completely “rings” him. He has a few tiny dings and is generally in excellent condition.
