Item Description
A classic and very showy smoky quartz specimen from Colorado. Water-clear to translucent, glassy, smoky quartz crystals form an aesthetic jackstraw cluster. This excellent specimen is from a recent find at the Dreamtime Mine in Teller County. The sculptural specimen was expertly collected, with very minimal damage overall, just a trivial bit of scattered edgewear. Valued at $250 by the former owner, Adam Sotomayor, who collected it. This fine piece displays very well without aid.
