Item Description

A showy combination specimen of glassy, different-sized, smoky quartz crystals poking out in different directions from the undulating feldspar matrix covered with gemmy and lustrous spessartines to 7 mm. A ding on the termination of the tall smoky and one broken crystal are noted, but this remains a showy and highly representative combination example from this closed locale.
