Item Description

An elegant pair of very glassy, transparent to translucent, rich smoky quartz crystals aesthetically set on bladed cleavelandite and microcline crystal matrix from recent finds in Argentia. These smokies are comparable to highly desirable European Alpine smokies for sharpness, luster, glassiness and rich color, but at a fraction of the price. Complete all-around and pristine, except for an out of sight bruise on the back of the large crystal termination. Beautiful and choice material from this locale. Valued at $300.
