- Size: 9.8 x 7.0 x 6.6 cm.
- An uncommonly glassy, transparent and striking quartz crystal from the Vandall King and Richard Hauck Collections. This complete-all-around, doubly terminated crystal has incredibly pronounced, recessed, skeletal features and amazing, parallel, clay inclusions that give the crystal an-other-worldly look. The back is heavily etched, but has no damage. This riveting, very uncommon, older specimen is from Avery County, North Carolina, which is well-known for quartz and hyalite opal specimens. The Hauck collection was one of the largest quartz collections in the US.
