Description
Large, chunky, biterminated hyaline quartz crystal from Corinto, Brazil. Perfect! The nearest quartz-producing locality to Corinto is the village of Tomas Gonzaga, a few kilometers to the west.
Specimens from other areas of this sandstone region are often referred to as Corinto.
In Corinto, the quartz industry is more than a century old.
