About this specimen

Xuebaoding, Sichuan, cathedral quartz at 5.9 cm and 37 g; a small cabinet piece, priced with the damage disclosed. A pale golden cathedral quartz crystal with stepped faces and a milky base; the supplier notes slight damage on the inner side of the tip.

Cathedral quartz stacks sub-parallel terminations up the prism, giving the crystal a spired, architectural outline.

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 small cabinet in size, 2.5 × 2.2 × 5.9 cm (0.98 × 0.87 × 2.32 in) and 37 g (1.3 oz). Disclosed condition: slight damage on the inner side of the tip. The price reflects it and the photographs show the affected area. Condition is otherwise as photographed.

Every specimen here is photographed and catalogued individually before listing.
