This skeletonized smoky quartz comes from a find in in summer 2021. There was only a small area in this cleft where the skeletonized quartzes were found. The piece shows an excellent dark brown color when viewed through. All sides and skeletal areas are crystallized with a high gloss. First and fourth photo with middle LED light as backlit to show the beautiful color. A really fascinating undamaged alpine floater specimen!
