Quartz Cabochons

Quartz is the most common mineral on the face of the Earth. It is found in nearly every geological environment and is at least a component of almost every rock type.  It is also the most varied in terms of varieties, colors and forms. This variety comes about because of the abundance and widespread distribution of quartz. A collector could easily have hundreds of quartz specimens and not have two that are the same due to the many broad catagories

Very nice commercial cut clear quartz cabs from India.  They measure approx 30x40 and all have some type of inclusion or veil.  These are actually very nice stones and well worth the price!  I've had the hardest time getting a good picture of them though.  It's really difficult to get a good picture of something clear.

Nice lot of three small stones perfect for rings or pretty petite pendants. (Say that three times fast!)  Honestly, the top stone is actually clearer than it looks in the photo and the bottom stone has really cool stripes.  Approx. sizes: 6x10, 7x10, & 8x11  Weight: 6 cts. total 
$4.00/Lot
