Item Description

A striking and aesthetic large smoky quartz crystal with multiple terminations from this famous pegmatite. This glassy, highly lustrous 360-degree crystal has rich smoky color and striking stepped-growth faces. Some prism faces are frosted and the rich preferential coating of muscovite rosettes add much pizzazz. The terminations are water-clear, light smoky with the crystal grading downward to opaque. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, the termination has only the most trivial of bruising. Every turn of this fascinating smoky presents an entirely different perspective! Choice material from the Zapot pegmatite. Smoky quartz crystals of this size and quality are very uncommon.
