At 165mm tall, with exceptional clarity, wet lustre and remarkably complete growth, it is an unusually important example of Colombian quartz at this scale.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qMYqUG_convSearchResultHighlightRoot\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-8 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full dark markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crystal has a long, tapered habit with strongly striated prism faces and a sharply formed termination. Much of the upper section remains exceptionally clear, with highly reflective surfaces and the almost wet appearance associated with the best Peñas Blancas material. Internal veils and healed fractures become more visible toward the lower portion, while the upper body retains remarkable transparency for a crystal of this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specimen is in near excellent condition overall, with only a minute contact at the termination visible on very close inspection. The faces remain beautifully preserved, with crisp growth features and strong definition throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeñas Blancas material is quite distinct from the Brazilian quartz commonly associated with the commercial “Lemurian” description. The Colombian crystals are particularly notable for their clarity, lustre and sharply expressed surface growth, and high quality examples are usually encountered at much smaller sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe only know of one other Peñas Blancas crystal that I would consider its equal. The combination of size, clarity, lustre, preservation and overall form makes this a genuinely exceptional specimen, and one of the most significant quartz crystals we've ever offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Liminal Stone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52789668642948,"sku":"C-02","price":2499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/1815\/4628\/files\/C670D95D-A4A5-4D61-87E9-F563C003BA71.jpg?v=1789011099","url":"https:\/\/www.theliminalstone.com\/products\/quartz","provider":"The Liminal Stone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
