Outstanding and very unusual floater specimen of Quartz var. Faden. Formed by flat tabular crystals growing on 90 degree. With excellent gemminess, water-clear and perfectly transparent. Truly remarkable is the sharpness of the faden line and the complex multiple terminations. The crystals are razor-sharp with very lustrous faces. Complete all around 360 degree piece. In excellent condition – some small nicks.

An exquisite, top example of this mysterious Quartz phenomenon!
