Description

Morion crystal from one of the very few Swiss localities for this rare quartz variant. The specimen features great luster on all faces and despite its near-black color a clear, transparent interior when backlit. Due to a growth inhibition or an contact during an early growth stage, the crystal top is split into multiple terminations forming a black, lustrous crown. The specimen is flawless all around with an old contact at the side being fully recrystallized.
