About this specimen

Xuebaoding, Sichuan, quartz with mica at 9.3 cm and 147 g; a cabinet single crystal, priced with the tip disclosed. A stout quartz prism with a golden iron tint and glassy faces, standing on a base of pale mica; the supplier notes a slightly damaged tip.

Quartz is the most collected mineral on earth for good reason: sharp hexagonal prisms, bright terminations and endless variation between localities.

Mica books, silvery to bronze, are the usual companion of pegmatite minerals and add a flash of pearly lustre to the piece.

The Xuebaoding veins of Pingwu County, Sichuan, produced the orange scheelite and muscovite-aquamarine combinations that put Chinese minerals on the map.

The piece is cabinet in size, 2.9 × 2.8 × 9.3 cm (1.14 × 1.10 × 3.66 in) and 147 g (5.2 oz). Disclosed condition: a slightly damaged tip. The price reflects it and the photographs show the affected area. The specimen is otherwise sold in the condition shown.

Each specimen is individually photographed and catalogued before it is listed.
