Quartz     Poretta, Italy. Ex. Dr. Steve Chamberlain Collection. Prev. Ward’s specimen from the Dr. Drake collection. An unusual specimen with some serious provenance. The crystal measures in at 5.6 cm long and as you can see is very highly skeletal. There is no damage (very minor rubbing on one termination, visible under magnification and not noticeable otherwise). The piece is an interesting one having some clay inclusions and lots of openings. A classic for the discriminating quartz collector. $95
