A beautiful, naturally faceted, gem-like, smoky quartz Herkimer "diamond" from the Ed David Collection. This water-clear, glassy, crystal is doubly terminated. The primary, sharp termination is exquisite. The other termination is contacted, but has no damage, per se. This specimen is complete-all-around and the anthraxolite inclusions are a very nice accent.
