Clear main crystal and harmonious overall picture

The main crystal of this specimen is a real eye-catcher. With its size and crystal-clear transparency, it captures the light and reflects it in all its facets, creating a sparkling spectacle. Surrounded by smaller, equally clear quartz crystals, this piece offers a harmonious composition that perfectly reflects the beauty and diversity of nature. The smaller crystals complement the main crystal ideally, creating a harmonious arrangement that emphasises both the simple elegance of the marble and the breathtaking clarity of the quartz.

A special find during marble quarrying

These quartz crystals grow over millions of years on the marble walls and are often destroyed when the marble is quarried. It is all the more extraordinary to find such a well-preserved specimen that retains not only the clear quartz tips but also the marble as a stable base. The natural form of marble is usually irregular, but one side of this piece has been flattened to make it stable, so that it can be displayed to its best advantage in any collection.
