Description
The specimen is far better in person. The zonation of the smoky phantoms is excellent. Originally collected by Wayne Thompson and later sold to Mel Bersch. These are in my opinion the best smoky quartz for the USA for stand along smoky quartz specimens.
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
