Description

This rare and remote, northern Greek locality is known for alpine type smoky quartz and amethyst. We almost always see loose little crystals or little clusters at best but almost never a plate of crystals on matrix, such as this one! The piece hosts several terminated crystals of dark smoky quartz, stained with some oxides that could be cleaned. The piece is also quite large. Excellent for the locality and extremely rare.
