Item Description

A hard to find association specimen featuring sharp, very lustrous, well-formed almost "Morion" Smoky Quartz crystals associated with small bladed orange-tan colored sheaves of Stilbite on matrix. The label originally said that this piece was from Striegau, "Germany", but I'm certain it's from Poland. The largest Smoky Quartz measures 2.3 cm and is in good shape despite a bit of roughness near the termination. These specimens are not common on the market, and how often does one see Quartz with Stilbite from any locality?
