Clear doubly terminated smoky quartz crystals on matrix. On the back side of the specimen, also fully crystallized, smoky quartz is associated by a pale green byssolite (amianth), a fibrous variety of actinolite.

The trapezoherdal face on the larger crystal and sutures indicate a right Dauphinee twinned quartz of Friedländer habitus.
