Description

This awesome combination specimen from the Swiss Alps represents fantastic quality of Alpine smoky quartz. The thick main crystal shows super deep satturated smoky colour with sharp edges and a fine lustre. One additional crystal is nicely placed at the bottom and even shows some double terminated crystals as well. Additionally there is also some bright adularia and even some greenish epidote present which also give the smokys a fine contrast.
