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

A refined obelisk of pristine quartz, worked and polished to enhance its transparency and the fascinating internal inclusions, evidence of its natural growth in Brazil. — This specimen consists of a meticulously worked and polished clear quartz crystal (SiO₂) shaped into an obelisk. Clear quartz, or rock crystal, is the transparent macrocrystalline variety of quartz, characterized by its hexagonal structure. The obelisk cut, with its flat faces and faceted tip, is not random but serves to enhance the mineral’s natural optical properties and intrinsic purity. The surface is perfectly polished, allowing a clear view into the crystal’s interior. Visual analysis reveals predominant transparency, interspersed with captivating 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 ‘ghosts’ of crystal growth, i.e., contours of previous growth phases. These characteristics, far from being imperfections, represent the crystal’s geological history, offering remarkable visual depth and aesthetic interest. The Brazilian provenance is well known for producing high-quality quartz, both in rough and worked forms. Brazil is a geologically rich region of hydrothermal veins and pegmatites that have favored the growth of quartz crystals of exceptional size and purity. The formation of this quartz dates back to geological processes from millions of years ago, where silica-saturated solutions slowly crystallized within rock cavities. Aesthetically, the obelisk presents a slender, well-proportioned shape, making it a piece with a strong visual impact. The internal inclusions and hazes capture light and create unique refraction plays, making every viewing angle distinct. The quality of workmanship and the luster of the surfaces contribute to giving the piece an intrinsic elegance that makes it suitable for multiple 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 safe and enhancing display on any surface. This clear quartz obelisk represents a specimen of notable collecting value, combining the natural beauty of the mineral with the precision of craftsmanship. 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.
