Item Description

Aesthetic schorl and smoky quartz combinations, such as this, are very uncommon from this less well-known San Diego County pegmatite. A 2.3 cm, terminated schorl crystal is attractively set on the side of a gem, complexly formed, sharp light smoky quartz crystal. Most of the sharp faces are lightly frosted/pitted. Complete all-around and pristine, except two of the lower faces appear to be cleavages, as they are very glassy and are unfrosted. It's hard to tell. Rare and excellent combination material. A must for the San Diego County pegmatite collector. old Cal graeber dealer label.
