Double-Terminated “Dragon Scale” Quartz with Goethite

An extraordinary specimen of double-terminated quartz from Missouri, USA, known as “dragon scale quartz” for its dramatic overlapping crystal formation and sculptural presence. The crystals display a brilliant lustre, with each termination sharply defined and naturally symmetrical, creating a powerful and dynamic aesthetic.

The reverse side reveals a stunning layer of iridescent goethite, shimmering with rainbow hues of gold, violet, green, and blue — a mesmerising contrast to the sleek, silvery surfaces of the quartz points. This interplay of texture, light, and colour gives the piece remarkable depth and elegance, making it a truly striking example of nature’s artistry.
