Clear Quartz with Mesmerizing Internal Veiling Elegantly Quartz Point - Height: 150 mm - Width: 60 mm- 650 g - (1)

A refined obelisk of transparent quartz, crafted and polished to enhance its transparency and the fascinating internal inclusions, testament to its natural growth in Brazil. — This specimen consists of a meticulously worked and polished transparent quartz crystal (SiO₂) in the shape of an obelisk. The transparent quartz, or rock crystal, is the macrocrystalline, transparent variety of quartz, characterized by a hexagonal structure. The obelisk shaping, with its flat faces and faceted tip, is not accidental but serves to highlight the mineral’s natural optical properties and intrinsic purity. The surface is perfectly glossy, allowing a clear view of the crystal’s interior. Visual analysis reveals predominant transparency, interspersed with fascinating internal hazes and inclusions that create complex and dynamic optical effects. One can observe more milky zones and natural growth fractures that have sealed over time, often forming true “phantoms” of crystal growth, i.e., outlines of previous growth stages. These features, far from being imperfections, represent the crystal’s geological history, offering notable visual depth and aesthetic interest. The Brazilian provenance is well known for the production of high-quality quartz, both in rough and worked form. Brazil is a geologically rich region with hydrothermal veins and pegmatites that have facilitated the growth of quartz crystals of exceptional size and purity. The formation of this quartz dates back to geological processes millions of years ago, when silica-saturated solutions slowly crystallized inside rock cavities. Aesthetically, the obelisk presents a slender, well-proportioned shape, making it a piece with a strong visual impact. The inclusions and internal hazes capture light and create unique refraction plays, making every viewing angle different. The quality of workmanship and the luster of the surfaces contribute to giving the piece an intrinsic elegance, suitable for a variety of display contexts. The condition is excellent, with no signs of damage or restoration. The crystal is intact and the polish is impeccably maintained, as evidenced by the provided images. The base of the obelisk is flat and stable, allowing for secure and showcasing display on any surface. This transparent quartz obelisk represents a specimen of notable collectible value, combining the natural beauty of the mineral with the precision of the workmanship. It is a piece that stands out for its transparency, the richness of its internal inclusions, and its provenance. Ideal for mineral collectors who appreciate the blend of lapidary art and geological wonders, as well as for those seeking a refined decorative element with a deep and fascinating geological history.
