A sharp, complete all-around, smoky quartz crystal is strikingly highlighted by an approximately 3 mm, reddish-brown garnet crystal included in the interior. The refractions on some of the smoky crystal faces appear to double the garnet. This uncommon, old time specimen is from a well-known North Carolina locality and the Richard Hauck Collection.
