Thanks Volkmar! This one was purchased quite some time ago and back then it wasn't too hard to find large pieces.

Indeed hard to find in such a size nowadays. Last year I had the chance to get one (~ 18 cm) with larger crystals for a really good price but I thought too long about it and - surprise, surprise - it was sold very quick :-(

I'm glad you had luck purchasing such a great one, Mike!

Best regards
Tobi

Thanks Tobi! So sorry to hear you missed out on a nice large specimen. I too have missed out on pieces that I have pondered too long on ....

I guess we all experienced that, but the money you "save" by missing one specimen allows you to get another one ;-) And looking at your awesome collection, you should not worry too much about pieces you missed :-)

What a special piece! I have recently become aware of and in love with Quartz growing at angles like this, this piece appears to be growing epitaxially. Is this just a fluke or do you think there was a catalyst for this?
