We have seen photographs of slices of this material in magazines such as GIA's Gems and Gemology Magazine, but we have not seen an actual crystal. Very interesting for a cutter or a collector of Russian's advanced lab grown synthetic experiments. It measures approximately 7 inches by 2.75 inches across. Our scales cannot weigh this crystal because it is sooo heavy but we can tell you that it weighs over 1000ct! $1,400 for this wonderful specimen. Very rare to actually find an intact crystal!...

These natural quartz clusters originated in the famous state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This area is known for producing most of the gemstones and crystals that come from Brazil. Each cluster has been chosen individually from a large lot, bubble wrapped and shipped from Brazil to the United States. There are approximately 125 pieces in total with most never having been unwrapped since their arrival at our office back in 1987. They have been crated and stored in a warehouse for those years. Four pieces have been photographed. A dime has been used to indicate size. These make great paperweights, gifts or just as an addition to an existing collection or perhaps even the beginning of a new collection.
