Item Description
An outstanding, very showy and rare combination piece from Puiva consisting of a gem quality water-clear, sharply terminated smoky quartz crystal included with plates and a blade of gemmy lustrous brown crystals of axinite. The long blade is 2.0 cm. Trivial termination and sidewear is noted, but is a very modest detraction to this striking 360 degree piece. The limpid, gem quality of this smoky compares to the best from the Alps! Exceptionally uncommon, included combination material from this famous locale.
