superb, gem Smoky Quartz (classic New Mexico) Hunt Coll.

Item Description

Glorious gemmy smoky quartz crystals form a sculptural large older specimen from Lincoln County. The dramatic large crystal with fine light smoky color has striking chevron-shaped phantoms below the water-clear colorless termination. The super glassy dense stepped-growth faces add real character. Crystal gemminess is comparable to good Swiss specimens. The three impressive crystals are complete all-around. Basal contacting to the large crystal is out-of-sight on the back. Older material from finds 20 to over 30 years ago. Ex Taylor Hunt Collection. These are among the finest North American smoky quartz specimens and this is an excellent example. Valued $2000.
