beautifully formed rock crystal group with great terminations from Brazil

A large rock crystal cluster from Brazil, with numerous clearly terminated points on a compact base.

The main crystals reach varying lengths, all uniformly translucent with a milky-white rim at the base and a clear point towards the top.

Rock crystal belongs to the quartz family. This pure, colorless variety crystallizes in pegmatitic fissures when the hydrothermal solutions are free of coloring trace elements.

What distinguishes such a cluster is the multitude of intact terminations: each point represents an undisturbed crystallization axis over long periods.

Brazilian rock crystal from the mining regions of Minas Gerais is considered a global benchmark for clarity and completeness of crystal form.

A solitaire piece with an imposing presence that asserts itself as the focal point of a living room or library.
