Item Description
A dramatically sculptural, surprising and excellent smoky quartz specimen from the pegmatites in this area of Spain. All four of the pristine, artistically placed, sharply terminated gem smoky quartz crystals host striking, feathery white interior phantoms. The large smoky is 7.3 cm tall. The decidedly different crystal form of the smokies, outrageous large phantoms and placement of the smokies on contrasting feldspar matrix make for an outstanding and uncommon 360-degree example of the species and locale. The crystals GLOW, when backlit. From the El Berrocal Mine, which is not listed on Mindat. CHOICE and rare smoky quartz from this obscure mine and the Sanabria Collection.
