Description

Super rare lustrous window quartz (fensterquarz) crystal from Java (Wanze, Belgium). Typical pieces from this locality range from 3 to 4 cm, but this not only surpass 5 cm but it is a window quartz with typical hoppered faces, that were rarely found in Java. It is doubly terminated, almost a floater, with just a tiny contact to the matrix. In very good condition, with just minor erosions. A must in every collection of Belgian classics!.

Acquired in 1982. Ex Jan Sibtsen collection #530.
