Comment: The termination of this impressive, LARGE CABINET, quartz crystal is water-clear and you can easily that most of the sidecar crystal is included in the larger crystal! It is gorgeous before getting technical about the details. The included crystal is DOUBLY-terminated and looks like it was just stuck into the big quartz, somehow, like a magic trick. It is mesmerizing in person, to look at the internal quartz through the outer crystal. What a neat inclusion! The frontal view of the termination is pristine and you can't see the small bit only of trivial edgwear on the backside. The back has another negative impression with some contacting where it grew against another crystal, but is out of sight and is not damage, per se. This is a large and dramatic Hot Springs quartz crystal with a striking view in the termination. Classic large material. 2.9 pounds or 1.3 kilos. Ex Ron Coleman personal Quartz Collection, from his mine circa the 1980s. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
