Showy plate of smoky quartz, from a recent find at a gold mine in Bolivia. The crystals are unlike any other smokies I have seen. They have a gorgeous silky luster, and internally, the blushes of color (and even chevron phantoms) characteristic of Brandberg and Guerrero quartz. In great condition, with damage to only a couple of crystals on this whole magnificent plate! 19 x 14 x 7 cm
