AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is an exceptional, high-grade Lemurian Quartz sphere, weighing 1645g. This specimen is distinguished by its unique combination of a perfectly polished exterior and a sprawling, natural druzy pocket that covers a significant portion of the sphere's surface.
Mineralogical & Aesthetic Highlights:
• Sparkling Druzy: The interior of the large vug is carpeted in thousands of micro-crystalline quartz points. These crystals exhibit an extraordinary vitreous lustre, creating a high-sparkle effect that shifts with the light.
• Lemurian Quality: The host quartz is characteristic of Lemurian seed material, known for its high clarity and the presence of natural internal veils that create beautiful light refraction within the polished sections.
• Lapidary Excellence: At 113mm, the sphere has been polished to a mirror-like finish, providing a smooth, tactile contrast to the complex, jagged texture of the internal crystal pocket.
Natural Geological Features:
As a genuine earth-mined specimen, this sphere displays natural signatures of its formation:
• Internal Phantoms: Subtle veils and "mirrors" are visible within the quartz matrix, confirming the natural growth process of the crystal.
• Geological Pockets: The druzy vug is a natural cavity within the original quartz vein. To ensure transparency, it is noted that the edges where the polish meets the druzy are natural contact points and are a testament to the specimen’s authenticity.
Technical Specifications
• Mineral: Lemurian Quartz (Druzy Quartz)
• Weight: 1645g
• Diameter: 113mm
• Condition: Excellent; high-gloss polish with a fully intact natural druzy pocket.
