Representative smoky quartz crystal showing Tessin habit, characterized by the striation of the prism faces by an alternating growth of prism and steep rhombohedral faces, and the progressive reduction of the dimensions of the prism faces to the top. The crystal is flattened and quite thin at the termination, with a nice smoky phantom and that presents different chippings.
