18MA02 Quartz (Japan Law Twin)
Mahaiza Area, Vakinankaratra Region, Antananarivo Province, Madagascar
8.3x 8.1x 2.1 cm
$650
A large, showy, and very beautiful Japan law twin quartz, from the area around Mahaiza. This one has a number of other crystals attached that are positioned in such a way as to greatly improve its appearance over that of a plain twin.
This area produces massive amounts of industrial quartz and small crystals, but good twins are not particularly common. I had the good fortune of comping into contact with a miner who had been setting aside oddities from the local production-- this one was of his best pieces.
