Description

Large and extremely rare smoky quartz crystal from the alpine type fissures of Penteli Mt, near Athens. The crystal has excellent luster and good smoky color with several inclusions of chlorite right under the faces. The termination shows some skeletal-like growth too! The crystal is contacted at the back but not damaged as we see small faces on several areas and no conchoidal quartz fracture, only the base was on the rock. A must for the quartz collector, for the very rare locality and big smoky size!
