This specimen shows exceptional aesthetics: smoky quartz and some bright adularia on matrix! The crystals are highly lustrous, glassy and with a good smoky color! The main-crystal and some other crystals are doubly terminated. The specimen stands in the displayed position without support. The piece came out of its pocked unharmed and in perfect condition! Very impressive in person!
