Quartz, var. Smoky Quartz |
Specimen # | 100042 | |
Mineral: | Smoky Quartz | |
Location: | Paulista Mine, Presidente Kubitschek, Minas Gerais, Brazil | |
Size: | 11.3 x 4.1 x 4.4 cm | |
Beautiful display piece of pale smoky quartz – looks great on the cabinet shelf. Fairly lustrous (I've tried to convey this in the second photo), and the central crystal in this group contains delicate internal wisps that pick up the light nicely. The termination is transparent (you can read through it – not that I recommend using it this way in conjunction with your favourite novel...) Please note that the blue in the photo is entirely attributable to the background - there is no blue in this specimen. There is a small nick at the back of the termination – not visible from the optimal viewing angle, but I've included the third photo to show.
This one stands perfectly on its own and just glows under the lights.
