Smoky Quartz (Japan Law Twin - classic USA find!)

Item Description

A shockingly good example of this famous USA quartz find - a rare smoky quartz japan law twin from New Mexico! From the famous and outstanding late 1960s find near Ruidoso, New Mexico, by the late Dick Jones, this is a rare treasure - we seldom see them turn up again on the market! This smoky, Japan Law-twinned quartz represents the finest American occurrence of both "open" and "closed" twins from one pocket which he collected now about 45 years ago. This particularly sharp "closed twin" crystal is flattened, glassy, and gemmy, with a clearly visible, vertical twinning plane and a superb, light smoky color. It is a large thumbnail or small miniature in size class. A superb example of this amazing style of quartz from a classic USA locale. Modern collecting here is prohibited, as well. Valued $2000.
