Smoky Quartz, Schorl and Hyalite Opal

Item Description

Outstanding Smoky Quartz cluster, with Schorl and Hyalite Opal, from the Erongo Mountains. The Smokies are very gemmy, up to 4 cm tall, with a luster that ranges from fair to very good. Only the largest has a small ding, and that is barely noticeable. The piece is in excellent condition. The Schorl prisms have superb luster and the prized trigonal 'Mercedes' terminations, with the largest being 1 cm tall and .7 cm across. The Hyalite Opal coats one end of the specimen, and fluoresces a beautiful neon green. This is an excellent, aesthetic cabinet piece with great balance. Even better in person.
