Eons ago, a lumpy clay-like material formed the base on which quartz crystal would eventually build to create this superlative piece. The quartz itself is pristine.
Bill Adams, of Earth Echoes Crystals, lives in Brazil in the winter. His business is crystals and he is a friendly sort, so he has some excellent contacts in the local mining scene. One day he was told he could find some extraordinary crystals in the tiny village of Paulista, should he wish to travel there. Off he went to Datas Township, and then on to Paulista actually nothing more than a cluster of 6 small homes surrounded with banana trees, sugar cane fields, and vegetable gardens at the foot of some low hills. (and probably named for the original settler, who came from Sao Paolo a city of about 15 million souls).
Here, in one of the houses, sparsely furnished, behind locked doors and closed shutters, came a great surprise. Laid out on the kitchen table was a large selection of quartz crystals too many and too fine to sort through individually. So finally, Bill simply drew a line down the middle of the table and said he would take ½. They called these the Mesa Crystals because they were laid out on the kitchen table. These twin crystals came from this group of kitchen table crystals in Paulista, in Brazil.
We call these Twin Crystals because they were at one time attached, as you can see in the photos.
How do the local miners know where to dig? One of the women tells them to Just go dig where the light comes out of the ground. But the men cannot see the light coming out of the ground, so they must bring her with them. When she points to a spot and tells them to dig, they do. They dug down about 14 feet and came up with this exquisite Fantasy Quartz, which we are now extremely fortunate to be able to offer to you.
You might be interested in reading about another piece that came from Paulista. It is a Collectors Piece, as are these, and it is extraordinary. It is called Fantasy Landscape Quartz.
You also might be interested to read The Stone Ladys column on these 3 crystals. She was quite taken with them, to say the very least. Click here: Rock Your World - Fantasy Quartz.
We provide you with pictures that show you the beauty and character of each individual piece. The crystal you select will be the crystal you will receive. Therefore, you can use your own intuition in the choice of your crystal, much as you would if you were actually in our store. This is the next-best thing to holding the stone in your hands.
