Item Description
The Giuv Valley has produced world-class Alpine specimens for about 200 years and this is a showy and excellent smoky quartz small cabinet from the Howard Belsky Swiss Collection. This two-sided sculptural parallel-growth crystal cluster is aesthetically set on the granitic matrix. The very glassy, sharply terminated crystals are water-clear and have rich smoky color. The stepped-growth prism faces really add pizzazz to this cutie. Complete all-around. A trivial bit of bruising and basal periphery wear to the smokies has negligible impact to the overall high quality of this piece. Choice smoky quartz with 360-degree viewability and multiple display possibilities.
