Smokey Quartz (GWINDEL)
Switzerland
40mm x 27mm x 8mm
Most twisted or "gwindel" quartz specimens are pretty large. However, this elegant, clearly twisted smoky gwindel is a miniature - and smaller sized specimens for the miniature collector are actually harder to obtain than the large ones! It is transparent, richly smoky in color, and displays all the characteristic nuances of its big brothers. This is a striking miniature!From: The Arkenstone
