Item Description

A fantastic looking multi-generational large smoky quartz crystal cluster from a New Find at Diamantina. Amazing, gemmy, facet-like octahedrons have beautiful variable rich smoky color and are dramatically clustered on one side of the large complete all-around lighter smoky with a striking sharp dark smoky termination. The gorgeous dark smokies reach 4.0 cm and most are doubly terminated. They have distinctive darker edges and have an alligator hide look! The large crystal is very glassy and lustrous and is transparent to translucent. The base of this most dramatic 360-degree piece is embedded with both oxidized cleavelandite blades and muscovite plates which adds a stark contrast and pizzazz to this impressive smoky. Nearly pristine, it's hard to see the bruise to the large crystal on an edge next to the beautiful gem-like smokies. Valued at $1000-1250.
