4.34cm x 1.75cm x 1.63cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A unique example of smoky quartz from this classic locality!!! The Alpine smoky quartz crystals from Switzerland have long been prized for superb quality and their unique and complex forms!!! This specimen consists of a COMPLETE and pristine GEM crystal of smoky quartz!!! The crystal exhibits a wildly complex habit that almost gives the illusion that the crystal is spiralling around!!! It is difficult to appreciate from the pictures but the pristine gem quality of the crystal, combined with this highly complex habit gives the specimen the feeling of movement in person!!! The crystal has bright glassy luster, flawless gem clarity, and a rich smoky color!!! The crystal has dramatic and lively play of light within!!! This specimen is doubly terminated, complete, and undamaged!!! Simply an incredible example of smoky quartz from this famed Swiss locale!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
