Quartz var: Smoky with Muscovite on Microcline

Item Description

An impressive full-cabinet sized specimen from Sakhan-gyi featuring many incredibly sharp, highly lustrous, well-formed hexagonal crystals of Smoky Quartz measuring up to 3.8 cm, associated with "rose"-shaped groups of Muscovite sitting on cream colored Microcline matrix. A few dings can be seen on the Quartz crystals, so they're not all completely undamaged, but the piece is largely in very good condition and quite showy. These are RARE from Sakhan-gyi, and a big display specimen of this material is almost unheard of. Valued $950.
