Clear Quartz Crystal Quartz Tower Point - Height: 121 mm...

Elegantly Quartz Point — a refined clear quartz obelisk, carved and polished to enhance its transparency and the fascinating internal inclusions, a testimony to its natural growth in Brazil. — This specimen consists of a meticulously worked and polished clear quartz crystal (SiO₂) shaped into an obelisk. Clear quartz, or rock crystal, is the transparent macrocrystalline variety of quartz, characterized by a hexagonal structure. The obelisk working, with its flat faces and faceted tip, is not accidental but serves to enhance the mineral’s natural optical properties and intrinsic purity. The surface is perfectly glossy, allowing a clear view inside the crystal. Visual analysis reveals predominant transparency, interspersed with fascinating internal veils and inclusions that create complex and dynamic optical effects. One can observe more milky zones and natural growth fractures that have sealed over time, often forming true “ghosts” of crystal growth, i.e., outlines of previous growth phases. These characteristics, far from being imperfections, represent the crystal’s geological history, offering notable visual depth and aesthetic interest. The provenance from Brazilian deposits is well known for producing high-quality quartz, both in raw and worked forms. Brazil is a geologically rich area of hydrothermal veins and pegmatites that have favored the growth of quartz crystals of exceptional size and purity. The formation of this quartz dates back to geological processes millions of years ago, where silica-saturated solutions slowly crystallized inside rock cavities. From an aesthetic standpoint, the obelisk presents a slender, well-proportioned shape, making it a piece with strong visual impact. The inclusions and internal veils catch the light and create unique refraction play, making every viewing angle different. The quality of workmanship and the luster of the surfaces contribute to giving the piece an intrinsic elegance that makes it suitable for multiple display contexts. The condition is excellent, with no signs of damage or restoration. The crystal is intact and the polishing is impeccably maintained, as evidenced by the provided images. The base of the obelisk is flat and stable, allowing safe and valorizant display on any surface. This clear quartz obelisk represents a specimen of notable collectors’ value, combining the natural beauty of the mineral with the precision of workmanship. It is a piece that stands out for its transparency, the richness of its internal inclusions, and its provenance. Ideal for mineral collectors who appreciate the fusion between lapidary art and geological wonders, as well as for those seeking a refined decorative element with a deep and fascinating geological history.
