Lustrous Amethyst Quartz crystals with two separate generations of growth. The first generation has large Amethyst crystals measuring about 1.0cm thick, with the later generation being overgrowths of smaller 1-2mm crystals on the larger crystals. Very clean with no obvious damage.

This specimen is a complex combination of multi-stage growth of Quartz that shows two distinct periods of development. The early stage growth is an Amethyst Quartz crystal with Hematite either in or on its faces. The late stage growth is a nearly complete coverage of clear Quartz, terminated on both ends. This pattern of development gives the specimen the appearance of having internal Hematite and Amethyst Quartz phantoms when viewed from the top or sides. A very aesthetic and interesting specimen. Old label shows a price of $250.

A beautiful combination of Amethyst Quartz crystals on clear Quartz crystals with 3.5cm cluster of opaque white Anhydrite crystals on one side. The combination of two different colors of the species in this arrangement gives this specimen an attractive 9cm wide multi-dimensional look. Ex. Bob Trimingham Collection with his detailed label description.

A very glassy Smoky Quartz crystal, terminated on both ends, that provides a perfect window of view showing golden acicular crystals of Rutile shooting through its interior. You have to look closely otherwise you might think the crystal has damage on the ends, but it's actually complete. In addition, there are several white color rhombohedral crystals of an unidentified species included within the Quartz. Old label shows a price of $150.

A lustrous group of several Smoky Quartz crystals that shows golden acicular crystals of Rutile shooting through its interior. No damage to the main crystals which are complexly terminated all around. In addition, there are several white color rhombohedral crystals of an unidentified species included within the Quartz.

A fine, sharply terminated, complete Smoky Quartz crystal from this classic California locality. Only a small amount of micro-chipping here and there, otherwise a good sized, near-perfect example. Note that there is a small stepped growth near the termination as seen in photos - this is natural growth and not damage.

Minas Gerais has produced countless beautiful specimens of Quartz with a wide variety of crystal habits and mineral associations. The specimen shown here is fine example. It consists of a fan-like cluster of smaller, clear Quartz crystals serving as a background matrix for a much larger, double-terminated, sceptered Quartz crystal set to one side. Look closely and you will find several samll, multi-colored Tourmaline crystals included in the large Quartz crystal as well as hidden in the smaller Quartz crystals. An absolutely gorgeous specimen with no apparant damage.

A cluster of clear, sharply terminated Quartz crystals is host to several dark color Schorl Tourmaline crystals included within the center. The Schorl crystals are visible from both the front and back of the Quartz cluster. It comes with a very detailed Bob Trimingham label that notes an excellent provenance from some well-known collectors. No damage to any of the main crystals and only a minor amount of micro-chipping.

A superb group of flattened, translucent, and frosted Quartz crystals with the two largest forming a 7.8cm wide classic Japan Law Twin pair. No damage to any of the main crystals with the only visible contact being the point of attachment on the bottom. A beautiful classic Quartz presentation from the famous Washington Camp locality in Arizona. The specimen is accompanied by a wonderful accounting of it's provenance noted in the highly detailed label of Bob Trimingham.
