Description

A combination of a single smoky quartz and a gwindel. This beauty also comes from the new cleft from the Galenstock (found summer 2021). The smoky quartz measures an impressive 9.3 cm in length. The surfaces are high-gloss all around and of the best quality. When viewed through, the crystal shows a beautiful dark chocolate brown color. The crystal is a beautiful piece in itself, but a dark gwindel has grown on the side as an additional highlight. It shows the same quality features as the smoky quartz. The structure on the faces, the dark color and the quality make this piece an alpine treasure.
