Item Description
Smoky quartz crystals of this quality from the Shigar Valley are a rare and highly valued commodity. This sharp very glassy crystal has excellent smoky color. The termination is water-clear gem with the lower section being transparent to translucent. One prism face shows a striking inverted chevron-shaped phantom. Also, there are internal veils in the lower section. The side car crystal adds pizzazz. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only trivial termination and side bruising. Ex Herb Obodda Collection # 1963.
