Smoky Quartz on DolomiteJoplin Field, Tri-State District, Jasper Co., Missouri, USA8.2cm x 4.86cm x 3.75cm
Description/Interesting Notes: An unusual example of quartz with dolomite from this classic locale!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of sharp, lustrous dolomite crystals that host a lone, razor-sharp "beta" quartz crystal prominently perched among them!!! In person the quartz crystal almost looks like a gemstone placed a...top a dolomite cluster!!! The quartz crystal is completely natural and unrepaired - upon close inspection one can see the dolomite crystal intergrown with the quartz as well!!! The quartz crystal exhibits razor-sharp faces with bright, glassy luster, gemmy clarity, and a unique smoky phantom within!!! The crystal exhibits characteristic "beta" form - being a sharp, equant, doubly terminated crystal!!! The dolomite crystals are quite lustrous as well and appear very sparkly in person!!! This specimen is complete and undamaged!!! A rare and unusual example of quartz from this famous locale!!! This specimen hosts a characteristic matrix on the reverse and retains an unattributed catalogue number as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
