Item Description
A very fine and aesthetic cluster of glassy, smoky quartz crystals from the Akchatau Mine of Kazakhstan. The crystals have rich smoky color and three of the crystals are doubly terminated, including the largest horizontal crystal at 5.7 cm. The complete-all-around cluster is in excellent condition, with only a couple of very gently bruised terminations and one bruised crystal on the backside. Pieces of this fine and uncommon quality date to the early 1990s. Valued at $500-600.
