Description

The specimen consists of a large, massive smoky quartz crystal and a gwindel in the front. The gwindel is 87 x 80mm tall. The whole specimen is sharp terminated, water-clear and all faces show exceptional luster and amazing texture. The specimen is out from an old collection, it was discovered in 1964. We show one photo under daylight (the first in the gallery), one shot on light background under studio-conditions and finally one photo under daylight with dark background. All these images only give you an idea of the true quality - it is so much better in person. The assemble looks really amazing, clarity, steps, sharpness and this crazy good luster are much better in person!
