Item Description
An aesthetic, two-sided cluster of glassy and lustrous, doubly terminated, smoky quartz crystals from recent finds in Namaqualand, South Africa. The longest crystal is 8.1 cm and interestingly, the larger crystals have more moderate-luster termination faces. The trivial, barely detectable termination wear on the large smokies and the very minimal periphery wear around the base certainly do not detract from the overall quality of this impressive smoky quartz specimen. These fine South African smoky quartz crystals show both wonderful clarity and gorgeous form - long, slender and elegant and rival Swiss smoky quartz.
