LARGE CLUSTER ONE

 This Cluster was the first large quartz conglomerate we identified.  We studied it in situ for several years, the tip of the tallest crystal rested inches below the ceiling of a gigantic quartz cavern.  How to extract the cluster through the narrow opening of the cave without damage was a challenge.  Rather than risk damage, we changed strategy, and disassembled the ceiling of the quartz cavern to extract this cluster vertically.  The Birdbath stone on our Home page was a portion of the ceiling of this crystal cavern, as was the Lighthouse stone.


Upper Left shows Cluster in situ, wrapped in packing foam and padding, with ropes ready for lifting; quartz arch above cluster is all that  remains after former ceiling of cavern has been removed.  Upper Right shows Cluster dirty, as all stones look immediately after emerging from their protective layers of earth, lightly brushed, not rinsed.  Lower Left is close-up of dirty stone, no cleaning has been done.  Lower Right shows Cluster after several weeks of rain and water rinsing, cleaning process beginning.
