Item Description

Old-time, excellent large smoky quartz and adularia from this classic Swiss locale. An impressive, 7.7 cm, water-clear, very glassy compound smoky quartz crystal with striking multiple terminations and fine light smoky color is aesthetically set on adularia and smoky quartz matrix nicely accented with a sharp, glassy, 2.0 cm adularia crystal preferentially coated on the front with green chlorite. This showy old-timer is from the William Shaw and Philadelphia Academy of Science Collections and is certainly over 100 years old.
