A big, gorgeous crystal of smoky quartz, with a somewhat orangey-citrine tone rather than gray, from Brazil. The faces have GLASSY luster, and the transparency is just fantastic. This crystal has naturally truncated, more Herkimer-like form - it is not "broken off" at the bottom - that is the natural contact face where it grew against the matrix.
