Presenting a unique and mineralogically fascinating specimen, weighing a precise 65.4 Grams (equivalent to 327 Carats). This complex piece combines three highly desirable features:
-
Etched Quartz: The host crystal of Quartz displays a rare, naturally etched surface texture, resulting in a complex, sculptural exterior.
-
Epidote Inclusion: Clearly visible inside the Quartz are beautiful, often dark pistachio-green, micro-crystalline clusters of Epidote, showcasing the crystal's unique growth history.
-
Mica Association: Plates of reflective Mica (often Muscovite) are associated with the exterior or base of the crystal, adding a shimmering contrast and completing the pegmatite association.
Sourced from the mineral-rich deposits of Afghanistan, this combination specimen is highly valued by collectors specializing in unusual crystal habits and complex associations. The pairing of the sculpted exterior, the internal green clusters, and the reflective Mica makes this a truly captivating, aesthetic display piece.
