Description

A lovely miniature featuring a long vug populated by a couple of crystal clear quartz var. herkimer in the candid white marble of Carrara. The crystals are perfectly shaped, with mint tip and glass clear transparency, to the point that the botton of the quartz can be seen through. The specimen shows brown stains, possibly indicating soil percolation prior to extraction - quite a classic feature.

A little jewel from the Carrara marble basin, increasingly rare in this quality and size since a few years. Self collected in 2004.
