An unusually aesthetic example of the superb smoky quartz that comes from the Ural Mountains in Russia. There is a large crystal here rising above a long, slender, doubly-terminated one; both glowing and gemmy. A smoky of this quality from Switzerland, New Mexico, or even Brazil, would cost a lot more. The Russian pieces don't get the pricing respect they deserve, to my mind. 9.8 x 9.6 x 7.1 cm
