Smoky Quartz (scepter) (ex Rolando Gioia Collection)

Item Description

Here we have a very attractive, sharp, lustrous, well-formed, gemmy, light smoky colored Quartz crystal group which has formed a beautiful scepter habit. My favorite aspect of the piece is the multi-generational growth starting with the translucent / gemmy central "stem" crystal which transitions into a slightly mikly overgrowth at the top, and is highlighted by absolutely "jewel"-like crystal s of GEM quality pale Smoky Quartz. These are rare from Brazil with this specific shape, style and fine crystallization. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
