Item Description
This most sculptural and dramatic pair of smoky quartz crystals looks like a Modern Architecture skyscraper, that would fit well into Shanghai, the US or Europe! The scattered gemmy cinnamon-orange spessartines, to 5 mm, and stepped-growth prism faces really add pizzazz to the very glassy, highly lustrous, translucent rich smoky crystals. Complete all-around and in good shape. The termination is gently bruised and one side of the tall crystal is contacted, where another crystal once lay, but there is no damage, per se. These are certainly only modest detraction to this stunning and fascinating 360-degree specimen. Every turn presents a distinctively different perspective. Valued by the former dealer at $1200 for high quality and aesthetics.
