Description:Smoky quartz crystals from the Chamonix area of the Alps are amongst the most desirable and highest quality in the world. This excellent piece features a superb, complete all-around, 5.0 cm, smoky aesthetically surrounded by smaller crystals. The crystal is totally water-clear, has rich smoky color and has outstanding, facet-like faces. Very nearly pristine, the minute termination wear is concentrated on the back of the tip. The periphery wear on the smaller crystals is noted, but in the overall context of the specimen quality, this is a modest detraction. A classic French smoky specimen from the well-known Franz Saller collection of Bavaria. Fairly valued at $1000-1200.
