This piece was collected by Patrick and Carl Auclair in the 1990s. It is a superb quality, razor sharp, rather lustrous, doubly terminated, GEM quality / WATER CLEAR “floater” crys tal of colorless Quartz from an area that RARELY produces Quartz of this quality. Quartz of this quality is not usually seen from any locality in Colorado. It’s much more reminiscent of Alpine Quartz from the standpoint of luster and gemminess. For reference, the piece simply looks better in person than it does in the photos as all of the most miniscule particulate inside the crystal shows up under the lens of the camera. It is a superb thumbnail Quartz specimen that would make a worthwhile addition to a thumbnail suite, or a Quartz collection. Specimen# CO712B133 Show more
