Item Description
A striking and beautiful, absolutely water-clear smoky quartz crystal with fine, rich smoky color from this noted Italian locale and the Bonisoli Collection # 5958. All of the sharp faces on the termination are lightly frosted/etched and are embedded or included-with sparkly micro chlorite crystals. The side faces remain stunningly water-clear, except for part of the lower section, which is richly included with chlorite microcrystals. The termination has trivial, barely noticeable brusing on this fine complete all-around and essentially pristine crystal. A very fine smoky from this famous locale. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
