A fine, doubly-terminated South African smoky quartz crystal. This crystal is striking for its extraordinary long termination, transparency and size. It is complete-all-around and the sidecar crystals are a super accent. Very interestingly, the tip of the long termination is very glassy, transparent and is nearly colorless, while the other termination harbors a very interesting phantom. The smoky quartz has good luster, with gently striated faces. Very nearly pristine. These fine South African smoky quartz crystals show both wonderful clarity and gorgeous form - long, slender and elegant and rival Swiss smoky quartz.
