Smoky quartz crystals from the Chamonix area of the Alps are amongst the most desirable and highest quality in the world. This excellent piece features a superb, complete all-around, 5.0 cm smoky quartz aesthetically surrounded by smaller crystals. The crystal is totally water-clear, has rich smoky color and has outstanding, facet-like faces. Very nearly pristine. A classic French smoky specimen from the well-known Franz Saller Collection of Bavaria.
