Quartz crystal obelisk, a transparent quartz tower from Brazil, weighing 1,167 g and measuring 120 × 75 × 52 mm.
Description from the seller
Elegantly Quartz Point — a refined clear quartz obelisk, cut and polished to highlight its transparency and the fascinating internal inclusions, testament to its natural growth in Brazil. — This specimen consists of a meticulously cut and polished clear quartz crystal (SiO₂) shaped as an obelisk. The clear quartz, or rock crystal, is the macrocrystalline transparent variety of quartz, characterized by its hexagonal structure. The obelisk cut, with its flat faces and faceted tip, is not accidental but serves to enhance the mineral’s natural optical properties and intrinsic purity. The surface is perfectly polished, allowing a clear view into the interior of the crystal. Visually, it reveals dominant transparency, interspersed with fascinating internal veils 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 “ghosts” of crystal growth, i.e., outlines of previous growth stages. These features, far from imperfections, represent the crystal’s geological history, offering notable visual depth and aesthetic interest. Brazil’s deposits are well known for producing high-quality quartz, both in raw and worked form. Brazil is a geologically rich area of hydrothermal veins and pegmatites that have fostered the growth of quartz crystals of exceptional size and purity. The formation of this quartz dates back to geologic processes millions of years ago, where silica-saturated solutions slowly crystallized within rock cavities. Esthetically, the obelisk presents a slender, well-proportioned shape that makes it a piece with a strong visual impact. The inclusions and internal veils capture light and create unique refractions, making every viewing angle distinct. The quality of workmanship and the luster of the surfaces contribute to an intrinsic elegance that makes the piece suitable for a variety of display contexts. The condition is excellent, with no signs of damage or restoration. The crystal is intact and the polishing is impeccably maintained, as evidenced by the provided images. The obelisk’s base is flat and stable, enabling secure and aesthetically pleasing display on any surface. This clear quartz obelisk represents a piece of notable collecting 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 fusion of lapidary art and geological wonders, as well as for those seeking a refined decorative element with a deep and fascinating geological history.”} ) }{ The extra characters at end?
