Larger Specimens
This page shows you some of the larger natural unpolished and polished specimens that we have to offer. Shown above is a fabulous natural citrine cluster from Brazil, with inclusions of mica crystals and skeletal and record keeper aspects (already sold I'm afraid!). Temptation has led us to buy in yet more large clear, smoky and natural citrine quartz crystals, some of which have been wholly or partly polished and also some that have interesting inclusions or veiling. Most of the Madagascan material has been lightly polished from naturally terminated crystals, rather than "massive" quartz deposits. This means that the energy flow and nature of the quartz remains intact and more or less as nature intended it to be. Madagascan quartz tends to have a naturally chalky outer coating, and so removing this with careful polishing allows the inner beauty to be more clearly seen.
Amethyst geodes, beds and specimens are now shown on a separate page.
NATURAL SPECIMENS:
A 07007: Although not a big fan of heat-treated amethyst (often sold as "citrine"), this is a lovely bed with a delicate and clear energy. It has lovely white edges, and reminds me a slab of cake - probably why I like it! It weighs 5.1kg and measures 11"x 15" high. It is quite happy to be stood on end, and would make a nice piece for a study or workplace. - £250
A 07008: Just for a change this point is from Brazil, and mounted on its own stand to help keep it stable. It is a totally natural terminated point, that has been lightly polished on the faces to give a really clean termination. It is full of rainbows and has loads of potential! It weighs 8kg and measures 6"x 14" high. Although expensive, bear in mind that it is a natural grown point, and not a cut and polished point carved from a massive quartz deposit. - £450
A ILP016: This is another fine specimen from Brazil. It is a mounted partly polished intact clear quartz point, with some tiny inclusions of fine black tourmaline within. It weighs 4.5kg and measures 8" x 6.5" max. - £120
A ILP009: This is a Brazilian natural terminated crystal, with phantoms and chlorite inclusions. It weighs around 1kg and measures 3"x 6" high. - £50
WHITE CANDLE QUARTZ (AKA CELESTIAL / PINEAPPLE QUARTZ)
These are examples of my favourite crystals! On the left is a massive
singleton, and on the right is an amazing cluster - the largest specimen I
have yet acquired. It is a large triplet and weighed 8.7kg and measured about
8"x 12" at the largest points. Unfortunately both these fine
specimens have been snapped up, but I have other candle quartz points and
clusters available weighing between .25kg and 3kg, and costing between £20
and £125. They include double terminated singletons and clusters and
self-healed specimens - plus some have cathedral aspects! Contact me for more
details - I have too many to photograph them all!
PARTLY / FULLY POLISHED SPECIMENS:
ILP: This is a polished off deep smoky quartz terminated generator crystal with lots of fine veiling within. It weighs 11.3kg and measures 6"x 13" high. It is currently in my own collection, but may be for sale to the right Keeper! - £950
ILP: This is another very fine example of a polished off light smoky quartz terminated crystal, with some wonderful chlorite inclusion and amazing veiling with rainbows. It weighs in at 14.4kg and measures 8"x 14" high. It is currently in my own collection, but may be for sale to the right Keeper! - £900
07059: Here is a one-off special that will never be seen again. This is a huge polished off deep smoky terminated crystal, extremely densely rutilated and with marvellous sagenite inclusions. There are tiny "tunnels" running through this crystal, showing where the inclusions once were in some cases, coming to the surface and then disappearing again! The pictures show that a lot of the rutile is white - rather like very pale straw running throughout the crystal. This "baby" weighs 19.6kg and measures 6"x 19" high. It is going to be an amazing piece for someone out there! - £1200 RESERVED
07064: This is a fine and delicate example of a clear quartz polished terminated generator crystal, with lots of veiling and rainbows. It weighs 6kg and measures 6"x 10.5" high. - £220 RESERVED
07067: This is a polished skeletal elestial terminated crystal, with cathedral aspects and fire quartz and harlequin quartz inclusions (titanium and hematite). A really rare find, which sparkles intensely in sunlight or bright light. It weighs 5.5kg and measures 5"x 10" high. - £300
07098: This is a pale smoky terminated polished generator crystal with fine rutilated inclusions and lots of delicate veiling. It weighs 1kg and measures 3.5"x 5" high. - £130
07099: This is a light smoky quartz terminated crystal with dark smoky phantoms and lots of veiling. It has been quite deeply polished to remove surface imperfections, but has lots of character. It weighs 1.5kg and measures 4.5"x 5.5" high. - £150
A ILP011: This is a man-made Tschermigite crystal, grown in a laboratory in Russia. It is a fascinating hand-sized piece, with many octagonal shaped crystals that have grown in a cluster. - £40
