Elegant! Pastel, blue-green, almost translucent crystals of microcline var. amazonite, to 1.5 cm act as the matrix for three almost-transparent crystals of smoky quartz, which reach 5.0 cm in length. The crystal tips of the quartz have small dings but the overall effect of the piece is not compromised. It is an extremely elegant specimen, and of an older and more classic style than what you see today!
