DETAIL
NOTE
This Colombian crystal is called Sacrifice because of the glyphs that resemble the stigmata of Christ on the cross.
Although they can also appear on Himalayan quartz, the glyphs called Sacrifice look as if the crystal itself has been wounded.
And the glyph is called Sacrifice because it appears to have suffered a large wound, as if the quartz itself has been damaged.
Its characteristic is that it appears to cover areas with terminal faces and prism surfaces.
It's painful look, like a skin disease or being eaten by insects.
The glyphs themselves are diamond-shaped, with a sharp, thorn-like appearance, much like the seed of a water chestnut.
At the center of each diamond shape there is a core, resembling a bullet mark or a spear wound.
The glyphs convey a sense of pain, and appear not only on the terminal faces, but also on the columns.
Interestingly, they appear only on three of the terminal faces on one side, while the other half of the crystal remains perfectly clear.
There is also a small diamond-shaped window.
The main terminal face features a beautiful heptagonal diamond window.
Being a Colombian crystal, it naturally comes with exceptional clarity, brilliance, luster, and well-defined ledges.
The base is also self-healed.
There is also a large diagonal interference mark crossing two prism faces, which further enhances the impression of a scar or wound.
