nicely formed rock crystal cluster with great terminations from Brazil

A beautifully formed rock crystal cluster from Brazil, with clearly terminated points of varying lengths on a common base.

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

What distinguishes this cluster is the clarity of the points and the clean termination across the entire crystal flank. Such characteristics only develop with slow, undisturbed crystallization over a long period of time.

Brazilian rock crystal from the traditional mining regions of Minas Gerais is considered a worldwide reference standard.

A collector's item with serene clarity, suitable as an accent in a living space or as a material for energy work.
