Clear Quartz Cluster
This exceptional clear quartz statement piece originates from Brazil and displays a striking natural formation with strong visual balance. Weighing 2.121 kg and measuring approximately 23 × 24 cm, the specimen features a pleasing white quartz body accented by one prominent, elongated clear quartz point that rises decisively from the cluster.
The surrounding crystals exhibit crisp terminations and a clean, luminous appearance, creating depth and texture while allowing the dominant point to remain the focal feature. The overall coloration is a refined white with high clarity, giving the piece a bright, elegant presence.
Mounted for display, this quartz cluster is well-suited as a centerpiece for a mineral collection, interior décor, or statement installation, offering both aesthetic impact and geological authenticity.

Clear quartz is one of Earth's most abundant minerals, formed primarily from silicon and oxygen (silicon dioxide, or SiO₂) under specific conditions deep within the Earth's crust. Its formation typically occurs through two main processes:
Magmatic Formation: As molten rock (magma) cools deep underground, the silicon dioxide crystallizes. The slower the cooling process, which can take thousands or millions of years, the larger the resulting crystals tend to be, as atoms have more time to arrange into an orderly, repeating pattern.
Hydrothermal Processes: Hot, silica-rich water solutions circulate through cracks and cavities in existing rocks. As these fluids cool or the pressure drops, the dissolved silica precipitates out and forms quartz crystals in these open spaces, often creating the large, well-formed, multi-pointed clusters prized by collectors.
