Item Description
An aesthetic plate of glassy, translucent, smoky quartz crystals from Erongo Mountain, distinquished by the lustrous schorl crystals. Such combos, in this richness and quality, are not that common from this noted locale. The dramatic large crystal on the skyline is 3.0 cm and is nicely accented with burnt-orange iron oxides. Very nearly pristine, the myriad of smokies are pristine, except for barely noticeable bruising to the large smoky tip. The bit of noted periphery wear has very minimal impact on the fine quality of this uncommon combination piece. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
