Summary[edit]

Description
English: Quartz
Locality: Collier Creek Mine, Mt Ida, Montgomery County, Arkansas, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 8 x 7 x 6 cm
Quartz
An old specimen among the earlier documented pieces from this locale, and probably in the collection or dealer stock (or both) of George English (1864-1944). History aside, its just a darned good quartz cluster even by current standards when we are spoiled by decades of production from here. It would not be cheap, even today, for the clarity and razor sharpness shown. Interestingly, after all these years, it has never been fully cleaned by modern methods (acid), and retains the original lustre it probably came out of the pocket with, and some attached clay. As the Mineralogical Record archive states, "In June 1934, English retired from active service to devote his time to the writing of his popular book Getting Acquainted with Minerals, which was one of the best texts of his time for the elementary student and collector." It was later illustrated also in the classic book by HC Dake, Quartz Family Minerals . But really, it would be a good piece , pedigree aside!
