Smoky Quartz (gwindel)
Giuv Valley, Tujetsch (Tavetsch), Switzerland
59mm x 35mm x 15mm
A stylish, elegant gwindel with a clearly twisted form, rare in colorless quartz from this locality. For some reason, nearly all are smokies, and a good colorless gwindel of this style is hard to come by. Undamaged, pristine, and complete 360 degrees so that it can be viewed from any side. NOTE: Not from the Hauck Collection. This is from the collection of Dr. Eric Asselborn, but it fit well with this update and so here it is.$2500
