Large Smoky Quartz (excellent phantoms!) ex. Nowakowski

Item Description

An impressive 607 gram smoky quartz crystal of substantial size for this classic locale, from a famous find of the mid-1990s. Gem smoky quartzes of this elongated, tapered style can be found at other locations, but what made this find special was not just the root-beer color and great gemminess, or the elegant tapering form - those sharp chevron-like phantoms are really just mesmerizing, and not seen in other smoky quartzes. This piece is huge and is complete literally all-around except for a faint, tiny ding in the back of the tip and a truly trivial bit of edge wear. Ex. Bob Nowakowski Collection. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $175, for free. Valued at $2000-2500. RARE on the market in this size and quality. A MUST for the quartz or locality collector!
