Item Description
This dramatic and excellent large combination specimen of smoky quartz and amazonite is highlighted by a huge, vertical smoky quartz crystal, measuring 11 cm in length, which exhibits luster and translucence and a dark black color. Three amazonite crystals, to 2.5 cm across, aesthetically sit at the base of the large smoky along with the striking spearpoint smoky. These three crystals are lustrous and exhibit translucence on the edges as well as having a fine blue-green color. As an added bonus there is even a cluster of bladed, white albite in the center of the specimen. The other large smoky has a broken and healed termination. An impressive oldtimer from the location currently mined on the TV show "Prospectors." Notably, this piece has NO repairs - somewhat rare for the material. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $175 (for freee). Valued at $3200.
