10.9 x 6.9 x 4.2 cm. A specimen of sparkly amethyst from Thunder Bay - the classic purple. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
6.7 x 4.4 x 2.9 cm. A now hard-to-obtain old-timer, from the Blue Hills of Pennsylvania. This specimen is completely covered with crystals all around. Ex. Richard Hauck and Edna Doughty Collections.
5.4 x 3.5 x 1.8 cm. A rare, old-time Maine smoky quartz of the very complex "elestial" style. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
2.9 x 2.5 x 2.4 cm. A very aesthetic, large multiple-clustered thumbnail of "green quartz" from Greece - this green quartz, which gets its color from included hedenbergite, is classic from Greece. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
6.8 x 1.4 x 1.3 cm. A rare, perfect, doubly-terminated quartz prism from Pennsylvania. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
13.8 x 10.4 x 6.6 cm. A large plate of milky quartz crystals that grew on a layer of purple amethyst. Ex. Richard Hauck and Earl Calvert Collections.
5.2 x 5.0 x 3.0 cm. A gemmy, deep red, windowpane crystal of hubnerite leans out from between quartz crystals, with a few smaller hubnerites nearby. The large crystal is 1 cm across the termination. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
20.7 x 11.8 x 4.5 cm. A large plate of large fluorite cubes (to 5 cm across) that have been pseudomorphed by spiky quartz crystals. The pseudomorphs sit on a bed of larger, more transparent quartz crystals of a different generation. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
7.5 x 3.3 x 2.2 cm. Rather than being a single crystal, here are four of them stacked together in a stately way, all terminated and complete. It also has glassy clarity and luster, with the pastel hues of purple isolated in internal phantoms, inside the watery quartz. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
5.2 x 3.5 x 2.4 cm. A unique and fine miniature of Brandberg amethyst, due to the isolation of the intense purple color right inside the termination. This single dramatic crystal rises from a perfectly-trimmed matrix "base" with smaller quartz crystals on it. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.
6.7 x 5.4 x 1.8 cm. This is a doubly-terminated cross of two crystals, a complete floater, with just the slightest blush of purple. There are tiny lepidocrocites inside the clear crystals. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.
2.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 cm. An unusual and fine thumbnail pseudomorph from Colorado of translucent, brick-red jasper/quartz replacement after a sharp cluster of baryte crystals. Ex. Dick Jones Collection.
9.5 x 2.0 x 1.7 cm. A dramatic and beautiful, very long, flower bud-like, translucent, green, hedenbergite-included quartz "prase" from Serifos Island, Greece. This is a large, pristine, complete all-around classic from the Richard Hauck quartz Collection.
5.4 x 5.1 x 4.2 cm. An old-time and aesthetic cluster of mostly parallel-growth, glassy and transparent amethyst crystals with pleasing, variable purple color intensity from a classic South Carolina locality - Due West.
4.9 x 3.7 x 1.0 cm. An uncommon and old-time quartz varietal from Butte: light purple, flattened, amethyst sceptors in a very showy cluster. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
