Gemmy Aqua 1.5 cm long, deep gemmy brown, bifurcating smoky quartz crystal into two excellent terminations. The luster on the Aqua is excellent and very good on the smoky. The termination of the Aqua is excellent, and looking down you can see all the way to the contacted base. A terrific thumbnail.
