Item Description
A 3.3 cm, striated, glassy and lustrous, smoky quartz crystal is aesthetically set on a plate of pearlescent, parallel-growth bands of enechelon cleavelandite blades from recent finds in the Andes Mountains of Argentina. The trivial termination wear on the smoky tip is hidden on the back and has no effect on the display view.
