ex. Charlie Key
Heavily included and colored reddish-brown by included hematite, this gemmy and glassy cluster of quartz, has one doubly-terminated crystal which reaches 5.85 cm in length.
ex. Charlie Key
A complete floater, with no points of attachment, this doubly-terminated crystal is rare, thanks to one gemmy and colorless end that is opposed by a glassy and gemmy, hematite included smoky scepter. There is also a clearly defined phantom at the sceptered end. Rather beautiful and dramatic!
ex. Charlie Key
Otherwise gemmy and colorless, this elegant little cluster of quartz crystals, has included hematite, giving all the crystals a smoky appearance. The largest crystal, measuring 5.0 cm in length, may be sceptered, and is aesthetically complemented by smaller, surrounding crystals.
ex. Charlie Key
In the case of this gemmy, hematite included quartz specimen, it appears that the larger crystal grew around the smaller one, making this whole piece look like a scepter. The color is a rich reddish-orange.
ex. Charlie Key
This quartz specimen is comprised of two members, one doubly-terminated , of gemmy, reddish-orange color, caused by hematite inclusions. The doubly-terminated crossbar measures 2.5 cm in length.
ex. Charlie Key
This crystal is a doubly-terminated floater, with no visible point of attachment. The lustrous and translucent crystal is colored a RICH fiery orange by hematite inclusions.
ex. Charlie Key
One half of this equant, gemmy, glassy, doubly-terminated quartz crystal is colorless while the other half is colored a hot chocolate brown by hematite inclusions. Sharply crystallized and quite beautiful!
ex. Charlie Key
A doubly-terminated floater, with no point of attachment, most of this gemmy, crystal is colored orange by hematite. However, one termination is glassy, gemmy and colorless. Neat!
ex. Charlie Key
This "floater" quartz specimen has a lot going for it. It is a complete, doubly-terminated floater (complete front and back!), with no visible points of attachment, the largest crystal is 7.0 cm in length, and it is sceptered. All the crystals are glassy, gemmy, with both amethyst and a rich reddish-brown caused by hematite inclusions. Front and back are shown in the top panel of photos. In addition, the second largest crystal has a distinct phantom right at the termination. Exciting and amazing!
ex. Charlie Key
Rising aesthetically from a pincushion of smaller crystals, is a lustrous, large, brown, hematite included quartz crystal measuring 2.5 cm in length. Every crystal has a phantom right at the apex of the termination. Nice!
ex. Charlie Key
This piece consists of two large, doubly-terminated quartz crystals, to 7.2 cm in length, that are lustrous and translucent, with a superb orange coloration created by hematite inclusions.
ex. Charlie Key
A milky core with later hematite inclusions has turned this doubly-terminated , lustrous and translucent quartz crystal, a bright orange color.
ex. Charlie Key
The sceptered top of this specimen is so glassy and gemmy that the terminated stem is clearly outlined as a phantom. Parallel growth has also taken place with the same glassy and gemmy crystals that are also doubly-terminated , clinging to the flanks. Tiny ding on back edge, otherwise pristine. A very lovely scepter!
ex. Charlie Key
Aesthetically sculptural, this quartz cluster features two, lustrous and translucent, brown, hematite included scepters with amethyst overtones. Both crystals feature phantoms at their terminations. The larger crystal is 5.2 cm in length.
ex. Charlie Key
This is another fantastic quartz crystal with one termination being colorless, glassy and gemmy with the other termination being lustrous and translucent and exhibiting a brown color from the hematite inclusions as well as having amethystine overtones.
