This gorgeous smoky "gwindel" or twisted quartz crystal is totally transparent and has wonderful luster. The contorted twist is easily visible! Smoky gwindels of this deep hue, from Switzerland, set the standard for this material and are highly desirable and hard to find on the market. There are a few frankly trivial minor dings or contacts that really do not show off so visibly against the black and transparent background, but the price has been lowered accordingly. The "back" side, with the labels, is actually just as preferred a display side as the front! This one, for the quality, is a downright steal.... 6 x 5.2 x 1.7 cm
