"Alligator" Smoky Quartz (NEW Find)

Item Description

A dramatic and sculptural, LARGE CABINET, smoky quartz specimen from a NEW FIND in Minas Gerais. These smokies have the striking "alligator" look, where the quartz crystals look like the large plates in an alligator's hide. Many of these very glassy, transparent smoky quartz crystals have distinctive darker crystal edges. The pattern of the "scales" or plates on this particular piece are fascinating! Overall, this super, large piece is great condition, with only very minimal bruising along the periphery and largely pristine despite its thin-ness and exposure. These REALLY stand out in a case..
