Description
North America, ca. millions of years ago. A gorgeous crystalline cluster of quartz prisms with well defined terminal points! This is a large cluster with a dramatic and stunning appearance that is the perfect display piece and stands upright on the flattened base. Quartz has been a prized material throughout history due to its translucency and refractory properties. Pliny the Elder believed that quartz was fossilized ice, permanently frozen into stones, a belief that persisted into the 17th century! Size: 11" L x 5.5" W x 10" H (27.9 cm x 14 cm x 25.4 cm)
