Item Description
The famous Little Three Mine in California has a special place in the heart of many collectors. This very fine and rare combination features a lustrous, transparent smoky quartz crystal aesthetically set on a matrix of pearlescent, opposing cleavelandite crystal clusters. The smoky is very nearly pristine. Super-trivial termination edge wear and a contact, where another crystal lay, are noted but have minimal impact to the importance of this very uncommon and showy combination. From a prominent California collection. Valued at $1000-1250.
