Quartz (Var: Smoky Quartz)

I still vividly remember the large Japan Law Twin, smoky quartz crystal that the late Dick Jones owned which was from the same deposit as this one. It was shown in the MR back in the early 1980's. This miniature twin, while not in the same size category as Jones', is ONLY the second one I have seen from this deposit. It is gemmy, lustrous, and almost pristine. It is basically a floater, in fact, complete all around and crystallized even at its bottom point. These smoky twins are so rare, I never expected to even hold one in person, much less own one. 3.7 x 3.6 x 0.5 cm
