Item Description
Enhydro crystals (those with moveable water or air bubbles encased within) are uncommon and highly sought after. The Smoky Quartz crystals themselves are excellent - they are gemmy and have superb luster. The largest crystal, 4.1 cm long, is very nearly doubly-terminated (the bottom tip is the sole contact point). The smaller sidecar is DT'd, perfectly gemmy, and a few of the faces are slightly skelatal, which adds even more interest to the piece. The arrow points to the location of the bubble. This aesthetic miniature is exceptional for both the quality of the crystals and the enhydro.
