Description

Wow, what an unusual oddity. Two excellent defined crystals of deep brown Smoky Quartz variety Morion, partially coated with a crust of tiny olive-green Epidote. There is one usual shaped Smoky with two tips and a beautiful horizontal striation. The other Smoky has an almost triangular form. This is one of the finest and unique Smoky from China I ever saw and ever handled. The minor imperfections are not worth to be reported,.
