Smoky Quartz on Microcline (outstanding)

Item Description

The tan microcline matrix hosts a magnificent smoky quartz crystal. The quartz is dark black, glassy and gemmy and has a central termination surrounded by parallel-growth crystals, giving it a superlative cityscape appearance. This is a textbook example of a fine, pristine, smoky quartz specimen and looks fabulous from all sides! Rarely do you get them in this size range, for some reason they are usually either smaller and slender, or bigger and fatter (with often, more damage). A superb piece from this recent find, way beyond the par we have seen to date. If it were Brazil or Colorado, it would be double or quadruple the cost, respectively, for the same great "look". Valued at $750 and well worth it.
