Description

A superfine gwindel of smoky quartz perched on typically matrix. It is very well defined and associated with a few single crystals of smoky quartz. The  slightly but clear twisted gwindel is also transparent, sharp edged and high lustrous. The surface is slightly powdered with less chloride. In any case this is a super alpine gwindel in splendid shape. Hard to get such material direct from the Swiss strahlers and this is a super opportunity to get one.

Gwindels are quartz crystals that grew along and are slightly rotated around a single a-axis.
