Sculptural Quartz crystal on Tanzanite. Rarely seen Quartz crystal from Merelani on a terminated Tanzanite crystal. The terminated Tanzanite extends out past the right side of the base of the Quartz. The Quartz is 4cm tall with complex form and sharply pointed termination. A partial Tanzanite forms the base for the Quartz and a small flake of this Tanzanite came off while I was cleaning it and I have reattached it. Valued at $800.
