Item Description

A striking smoky quartz crystal from recent finds in the famous Goboboseb Mountains. This dramatic piece is super glassy and water-clear. All of the termination faces of the smoky have dramatic skeletal features. The smoky color shading variations, clay inclusions and internal veils add much pizzazz! Every turn of this sharp, pseudohexagonal crystal presents an entirely different perspective of the outside and interior of this stunning piece. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. A couple of minor contacts are noted, where other crystals once lay, but there is no damage, per see. Nearly doubly terminated, there is a contact at the bottom tip. Certainly not a detraction or barely noticeable. A highly representative and very showy smoky from Brandberg. Charlie Key dealer stock. Valed at $750-1000. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERON!
