Description

This fine and large specimen features a single crystal of Smoky Quartz, up to 17,5 cm in diameter from the Zillertal in Austria. Good Smokies from Austria are way more rare and sought than their "Swiss brothers". This specimen is almost a floater. The display side is excellent developed, sharp edged and high lustrous. It is excellent horizontal striated, multifaced and mostly gemmy as well. The backside was broken off by tectonic stress, rehealed and powdered with less Chlorite. Small but visible ding on the tip. Anyway a very good specimen.
