Quartz (Var: Smoky Quartz), Quartz (Var: Amethyst)

Unknown Owner
A fine smoky/amethyst quartz crystal from recent finds in the Goboboseb Mountains. This dramatic piece is very glassy and totally water-clear. The two terminations, unusual form, skeletal features, shading variations of the smoky color with subtle amethyst hints and clay inclusions are highly noteworthy. Every turn of this sharp crystal presents an entirely different perspective of the outside and interior of this stunning crystal. Complete-all-around. Highly representative for the species and locale.
