Item Description

From an obscure pegmatite locality in Argentina comes this highly lustrous Smoky Quartz crystal on a piece of cream colored matrix composed of small Microcline feldspar crystals. The transparent Smoky Quartz crystal measures 7.4cm in length and has razor sharp edges and a perfect point to the termination. Prism faces are lighly striated perpendicular to the length of the crystal. There is a faintly cloudy area near the top of the crystal that adds interest.
