An incredible piece with huge crystals, complete and nearly pristine all around, forming one of the largest Herk clusters I have ever seen in 20 years, museum or otherwise. There are such thick, solid junctions that I am pretty sure we have only 1 or 2 repairs here at natural contacts, whereas normally every crystal in a cluster might have to be repaired back together. The signature piece from a collection built over about 40 years, this is a monster!
A very rare MATRIX specimen of Quartz from Herkimer, perched atop calcite crystals! The quartz measures 5 cm across and floats up there, complete ALL around. And undamaged. Incredible! It is also not repaired, as most matrix specimens are. And most of those are just quartz on ugly gray rock! I grew up in the midwest and collected here as a kid, and i can assure you that one does NOT routinely see a Herkimer-type specimen like this!
