Description:A striking, doubly terminated, smoky quartz crystal cluster from recent finds in the famous Goboboseb Mountains. This dramatic piece is super glassy, totally water-clear and interestingly, half of the crystal is colorless. Several faces of the smoky have skeletal features, smoky color shading variations and clay inclusions. There is even a phantom within the smoky half! Every turn of this sharp, pseudohexagonal crystal cluster presents an entirely different perspective of the outside and interior of this stunning piece. Complete all-around, a trivial bit of edgewear is noted on the smoky half and modest contacting is noted on one of the terminations of the colorless half. Certainly not a detraction or barely noticeable. A highly representative and very showy smoky from Brandberg.
