Smoky Quartz & Adularia from Switzerland (Ref: TA24-SMOKY)
Carvadi Gorge, Val Cunera, Grisons, Switzerland
74mm x 60mm x 51mm
Once again the photos do not do this specimen justice. This is easily the best alpine smoky quartz specimen that we've ever had, and you really have to see it in person to fully appreciate it. The condition of the smoky quartz, the color, and the aesthetics are just amazing! The two big crystals are leaning over a bed of blue-greenish Adularia, and the matrix that it's all on appears to be a quartz conglomerate. The terminations are super-sharp. You can see a crack at the base of the quartz, but we do not believe this is a repair as the crystals are all intergrown and connected and the crack doesn't go through all of them.Sorry. This specimen has been sold. Please view alternatives below.Please tell the dealer you found this mineral on minfind.com - help keep minfind.com alive again!
