Item Description

A dramatic, large combination specimen from a small New Find in an obscure Chinese province - Shandong. Gorgeous, very glassy, opaque, smoky quartz crystals with pronounced stepped-growth faces are very aesthetically set in striking, highly etched orthoclase crystals. The large crystal is 9.0 cm tall and the crystals look like obsidian, with the high luster. The smoky in the front is contacted, with no damage. A VERY impressive and pristine large Chinese smoky combination!
