This choice miniature is really sculptural, and has balls to 1.5 cm. It is complete all around. The crystal balls are translucent, sparkling and lustrous, and a rich shade of lavender-purple color presumably due to manganese. More sparkly, in person! this is a really cute specimen, totally unlike any quartz from other places

A choice thumbnail specimen featuring a botryoidal quartz ball, complete all around. The crystal balls here are translucent, sparkling and lustrous; and a rich shade of lavender-purple color, presumably due to manganese. More sparkly, in person!

This is a large, incredibly sparkling cluster of solid quartz balls, all with this rich hue of lavender-purple (the strongest color of all pieces here, in person). Totally different from any other quartz you have seen! It is really just plain gorgeous, for color and complex 3-dimensional, almost biological appearance. This solid cluster is translucent at all edges, and is complete all around except only a small attachment on back. Very bizarre creature, and a neat addition to any collection because the color and style is simply "different"

It is rare to find such a massive crystal sitting so starkly upright, that hasn't had its termination smashed a bit. This crystal, measuring 17 x 9 x 8 cm, defies the odds! It is a superbly formed, equant crystal that jumps straight up from its attendant smaller crystals at the base, and it is complete and viewable 360-degrees. You can run fingers over all edges and find no defect at all, no ding, excepting only 3 teeny tiny indentations on the lower portion of one side edge - and these are almost certainly natural growth indentations as I do not see fracture-induced microcracks around them. Remember that you are looking through a THICK, FAT crystal and so the internal veils it has in person are magnified by the camera looking through 4 inches of quartz, so in person it does appear a bit more internally transparent than you see here. Still, the photos give a hint, and if the hint is interesting the piece in person will really impress. From the personal collection of mine owner Ron Coleman.
