Comments: Quartz (Japan twin). A pristine miniature, very bright and sparkling, featuring a wonderfully balanced central twin enhanced by the starkly contrasting prismatic quartz right behind it! Or in front...as either side is a good view depending on personal taste.

Comments: Rock crystal (quartz) from Myanmar (Birmania - formely Burma).
From Easton: (Ezekiel 1:22, with the epithet "terrible," as dazzling the spectators with its brightness). The word occurs in Revelation 4:6; Revelation 21:11; Revelation 22:1. It is a stone of the flint order, the most refined kind of quartz. The Greek word here used means also literally "ice." The ancients regarded the crystal as only pure water congealed into extreme hardness by great length of time.
Verses:
- Job 28:17
