{"product_id":"quartz-cluster-with-xl-point","title":"Quartz Cluster with XL Point — 25 in Brazilian Specimen \u0026 Stand","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a room-scale specimen. Twenty-five inches tall, sixteen across, ten deep — a Brazilian quartz cluster from Minas Gerais built around one extra-large central point with the smaller terminations of the cluster gathered at its base. It comes with a custom acrylic stand, which at this size is not an accessory but a structural requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinas Gerais has produced the world's great quartz for two centuries, and pieces of this scale with an intact dominant point are what the region is known for. It is the kind of specimen that determines the layout of a room rather than fitting into one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuartz crystal cluster with XL central point\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Minas Gerais, Brazil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10\" x 16\" x 25\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom acrylic stand included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShips within 3 business days\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan the position before it arrives. A specimen at 25 inches with a 16-inch spread needs clearance on all sides, a surface that will take the weight without flexing, and — ideally — a spot where people walk past rather than one they have to go and look at. Corners kill pieces like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight it from low and to one side. A cluster is a field of terminations at different angles, and the whole effect depends on those faces catching light independently. A single low-angle source produces far more sparkle than bright, even overhead lighting, which washes the entire piece flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:1.2em 0;font-size:.96em;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:.6em .7em;background:#f2efe9;color:#2c3a37;border-bottom:2px solid #c9a96e;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:.6em .7em;background:#f2efe9;color:#2c3a37;border-bottom:2px solid #c9a96e;\"\u003eThis piece\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eSpecimen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eQuartz crystal cluster with extra-large point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eMinas Gerais, Brazil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003e10\" x 16\" x 25\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eCustom acrylic stand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eListing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eThe specific piece pictured\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#000D0B,#40514E);color:#e8e4dc;padding:1.4em 1.5em;border-radius:10px;margin:1.8em 0;line-height:1.65;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#c9a96e;margin:0 0 .5em;font-size:1.1em;\"\u003e✨ Temple Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eDo not lift it by the big point.
